That bracket is for 3 speed factory linkage arms swivel used to connect to the factory 3 speed transmission.
On a 62 cast iron PG the swivel bracket was much smaller. I think that type of 63 frame bracket ( on the e- bay frame) was also used by all aluminum powerglides from 62 to 64.
The swivel used on that frame bracket also connected to the 3 speed steering column (with 2 round 1/2 & 3/4 shifter rods. On PG cars there was one round rod to the steering column.
Factory PG cars also used a frame bracket for the linkage.
Only factory 4 speed cars did not have these swivel linkage brackets.
Each factory car with a 3 speed or a PG had the matching frame bracket.
A power glide car would would not have the z bar bracket
Any car with a missing engine or bare frame( that has not been modified) you can tell what transmission came with the car from the factory by checking for frame linkage brackets or the lack of brackets on the frame ( factory 4 speed cars)
