I would say they were custom made, not original as far as I know. Either way, I would not be fitting them, there is no need.

I've not seen anything like that before. If they aren't factory it looks like a very good job making them. That usually
means someone with a bit of knowledge and skill made them. And if that's the case people like that don't usually go
making things

Valiants all had similar brackets as do both 6 cylinder and V8 E series Falcons.
Could it have been a former Valiant owner thinking that they were missing so decided to fabricate a set?
They do look well made but home made.

I had the same brackets on all three p5 ltds i had with the 351, fmx. I was told it was to help brace the fmx due to the longer tail shafts? Im not going to put them back on .
