What is the difference between 28-29 and 30-31 windwing brackets? I have a 30 coupe but the windwing glass looks sort of like the 28-29 glass on the Mac site with the notches in the corners. Prior owners added things via swap meets so how can I tell if I have 28-29 or 30-31 brackets on my 30 coupe?

Interestingly the brackets appear old and chrome but were attached with phillip screws that appear to go with the brackets. I thought that strange since phillip screws came on the scene around 1934-35. It is possible the original screws got swapped out at some point of time.

The old glass has gone away and the car and brackets are at my farm 2 1/2 hours away so I won't know until this weekend if the glass that just arrived from Macs will fit the brackets or have to be returned so I am trying to manage my expectations.
