36 transmission mount question

[34fordy]

The plate (B5099a) which goes between the rubber mount and the back of the transmission. The arrow points to the rubber stamping. This was facing the rubber on the mount towards the rear of the car, away from the transmission, opposite what I have shown in the picture. It seems to me that it should be in the direction I have placed it in order for the rear gasket to be effective. Otherwise the protruding rib on the other side would only touch the gasket partially. I doubt that these are original to the vehicle as it is from a 39 transmission installed in 36.
