grille and bezel screws on '73-'74 models

Are the four headlight bezel screws on a '73-'74 Satellite/RR/GTX the same as the five grille screws that run along the top of the grille? All five of mine are missing, and the grille was only being held on by two side screws, so I need to order them (from R/T Specialties, I presume).

Also, with the center grille removed, I notice there are two tabs on either side of the grille area (adjacent to the headlamp bezel area), the bottom ones of which mount to the grille. The top holes, however, are a mystery. My grille doesn't have any mounting provisions here, so I wonder why Plymouth has tabs with holes in this area? Just curious more than anything. Maybe there's some option I'm not aware of.

Could you possibly get a pic of these mystery tabs?

Hmmmmm, on the top of my grille there are the mounting tabs and there is a place to mount them. . .

Yeah, there are five that run along the top of the grille.

There is one on either side of the grille edges, lower.

There are seven that run along the bottom of the grille to mount the chrome strip.

There are three per side (six total) to mount the parking lamps.

But on the body itself, where the grille edges mount, there are useless top tabs that the grille doesn't mount to (unless my grille has broken tabs on either side).

I'll double check...

Wait...mounting to chrome strip?

Are the 73 grills different then the 74s?
