[DeTomaso] Headlight bucket / opening dimensions???

Here are the dimensions from two different 1971 cars. The back numbers are from 1826 and the red are from 2281.
Assuming the image stays attached to this (which seems to work randomly for me).

   Here are the dimensions from two different 1971 cars. The back numbers
   are from 1826 and the red are from 2281.

   Assuming the image stays attached to this (which seems to work randomly
   for me).

     I believe the difference is most easily seen in the width of the
     fender panel (between the bucket opening and the outer trunk edge)
     immediately inboard of the bucket opening.
     Does anyone have ... true ... dimensions of the two versions of the
     buckets and openings?
     I say true in that unless you have full history of your car, unknown
     to you both fenders or just one fender may have been previously
     replaced.
     Bueller???
     Thanks,
