It's a biscuit motor mount K but with 73-76 kmember provisions? Like the top stamping is 68-72 but the bottom is 73-76?
I've seen one in a 72 abody in person. I was thinking it was a transitional thing. I've seen pics of one someone had loose too.
IIRC, some 69 Bbody Kmembers come out like this too with 69 tops and 70 bottoms.
Now I wonder if the one in that 68 you are working on is a factory replacement part. Some replacement parts have multi year feature so one part number can supercede two or more part numbers. BUT any original car with pass through 73-76 sway bar would have spool motor mounts.
I think the kmember got replaced at one and the doner was one of the rare 72 cars that had that transitional Kmember. Just my guess.

Jim, That would be way to early for a transitional Xmemeber. That's what I'm thinking. It's out of a ROUGH GTS convertible...

My 5/69 GTS has a full bottom K in it, that changeover of the swaybar didn't happen till model year 73 so the earliest you would see a changeover K would be sometime in the 72 model year. My Feb 69 Bee didn't have the changeover K, I think they started to show near the end of march.
running up my post count some more .
