The blue is my 74 cuda. They have larger slot for larger hood bolts. The blk is my AAR pretty certain original as there is white paint under the blk. looks like you have the later hinges

Thanks for the pics! The backside does look different for sure. I'm guessing this one is 71-4 maybe??

at least 3 versions of the e-body hood hinge were made. 1970 has teeth in the pivot area and the bar that attaches to the hood is narrow (takes 5/16" bolts), then about 1971 they went to a wider top bar and 3/8" bolts. Then a year or two later they got rid of the teeth in the pivot area. That's the one you have. The later version.
