Transmission crossmember identification - which is right for what???

I have a 69 charger with a 440 and the 727 auto that's going in the car soon. I have the boxed in cross-member that is pictured in the drawing labeled 'typical b-body. Is this correct for my application? If it is incorrect, what application was it for?

Was there a difference between big and small block auto cross members? What is the right application for each?  

I noticed this when purchasing the trans mount, and noticed that the trans-mounts listed for a big block on rockauto.com are the picture with the two metal pieces that stick out with the through bolt (real image), and they have small block mounts that fit in the cross-member that looks like the one I have and is boxed in (drawing labeled 'typical b-body').  

Thanks,

The one marked Typical for a B body looks like what I just removed from my 1968 Dodge Charger with a 440 eng. and 727 tranny.

In '69 the auto trans mount sat in a bucket welded to the front of the crossmember, the 4-speed mount sat in the middle of the crossmember.

The spool mount with the cross bolt didn't arrive until later in the B-body.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

so what years were the pictureon the right correct for? 66-70 and was that correct for 4-speed and auto?
I know you have the answer John.

The picture on the right that says typical B-body is a auto crossmember for 66 up to 69.
The left one (typical a-body) looks alot like a crossmember for a 4 speed setup for a 66 up to 69 b body.
I have however no idea if a b body 4 speed crossmember is the same as an A-body crossmember?

from '70 up things change but dont know exactly how I think the 4 speed uses the same crossmember as all the other transmissions
