In those pictures the bracket/hinge is one continuous piece of flat metal the hinge rod runs through. Problem with mine is it does not have a continuos piece of metal on the bracket/hinge but instead has two tabs, so nothing to hook the other end of the spring. What am I missing here?

I would say that someone possibly replaced a rusted/siezed full width hinge with two smaller tabs. We did the same repair; but added a piece of flat bar between the tabs to catch the two springs on a closed car glove box.
