I want to see the thin edge of the bracket. All original brackets were either castings (orange V shaped part above) or made from stampings out of flat sheet metal. If sheet metal, it possibly went thru 1 or more additional presses to give them shape or form. May have nuts or other pieces welded to them to form what is called a "weldment" When a part is stamped in a punch press the edge of the part exhibits distinct shear & break sections. See pic, the thin smooth area on the left is the shear, wider rough portion on right is the break. The typical "reproduction" part is either laser or possibly waterjet cut and will not exhibit such an edge. It's edge will have a consistent type finish.
