300TD Wiper Trans mount

Anyone know if there were different "styles" of wiper transmissions on the various years of TD? I bought a transmission from a lister; and a TD from a lister that has its tailgate replaced -- and the mounting holes for the transmission MISS the center of the holes in the transmssion by 13mm!

I made it work by removing the steel bushings inside the rubber grommets. And I'm certain I have the transmission aligned properly, and it actually works. Before I mill
slots in the mounting flange to mount it properly, I figure I'd check to see if the casting for the transmission ... or perhaps the supplier of the transmission ... was changed at some point.

Anyone run into this on a TD?
