The picture of my passenger side shield is below, installed wheel well side.
(Removed a comment)
Great info in this thread. I was not aware there was a difference in the passenger side between the 70 and 71 model year.
Were all driver's side shields the same for 70 and 71? Plus I have observed the driver's side installed from the wheel well side on original cars.

attached is a pic of the original splash shield reinstalled on my 5/70 LA built challenger (original replated clips installed wheel side), under frame brake line as original, white car....
and an original untouched splash shield on my friends 85000 mile 70 340 cuda, also installed from wheel side (red car, do not know production date)
both have the brake line hole, but brake lines go under frame.

Yeah, it's hopped up to over 160...

I don't know for sure. The guy he got it from said it was a "California car". How is it that you identify assembly location?

I've never seen this hole in the E body splash, only in the 71-74 B body. The hole is a clearance hole for a screw for a brake line clamp installed from the wheel well side.
You can see this clamp and the reason for the slot and hole in this 71-74 B body picture. Not sure what year this is but I've never seen a different pass side splash used on 71-4 B's. Also appears like these all SHOULD have been installed from the engine well side.
