Different spring plates?

First pic is the spring plate on my '74 Super, second pic is the spring plate on my shortened pan for the buggy. Unfortunately no vin means I don't know what the buggy pan is. Can anyone tell me what the difference is with the double spring plate vs. the single plate on the Super AND will I be able to use the IRS from the Super on this pan.

Thanks,
Brian

Thanks, that helps. My understanding is, they will probably work if the holes on the spring plates line up. I'll just have to try em and see.
As far as what the pan is: if it were a type 3, the buggy body probably would not fit on it correctly (as it does.) So, must be a type 1. Is this correct? Thanks again.
