The Ford Barn

I have a question about orientation of the rear bumper mounting brackets, NOT the ones that go from the bumper to the body, but those between the end of the frame and the body mounting holes for the rear bumper.

I took these off, not paying attention to orientation and need to know which is right and which is left. They have a piece of metal bent and riveted to them and that piece of metal has an elongated hole and a round hole in it. When mounted, does this metal piece go topside of the bracket or on the bottomside. My guess is that it goes on the bottom. Also, does anyone know what the holes in it might be used for?

TIA
