I thought I had a drawing with dimensions for making this rack fit.
From what I remember the width between the locating bosses (circled in red) is narrower on the replacement.
Others stated they widen the slot so the orignial strap #33 would fit. I was thinking making a new replacement strap.
I can't recall if the diameters were same, just something I'll mesaure when installing.

I worked on a problem on a car with play on the front caused by the whole rack moving. It was a new rack and the factory bracket on the early pushbutton car was narrower than the saddle. I had a spare set of the later brackets which are wider but tapered towards the center so I used those. The tapered bracket slid right on the saddle and locked in when bolted to the frame so there is no movement. I did have to use longer bolts though.
