Yep, just a little "L" bracket that was spot welded through those two holes in the apron.
When Ford started to install that cross brace between the front fenders, there was no longer a need for those small brackets.
Plus, the large brace between the fenders allowed the entire front clip to "float" a little.
The inner panels I have had with those small braces were nearly always cracked in that area. That tells me there was a lot of stress in that area.
