71 B headlamp adjuster?

Got multiple headlamp assemblies, most believed to be from a few 71 RR and maybe a 72 Sat. 2 diff headlamp adjuster styles, both have the same screw, 1 has a plastic insert that snaps into the headlamp mount panel and the other has a smaller plastic insert, which snaps into a metal "cage" which goes into the mount panlel.
Any input?

I'm not doing a concourse resto, but am trying to make sure it's 71 stuff when I'm done...

Not sure if this helps or not. This assembly came off of a '72. I blasted & painted it. Ordered all new hardware for a '72 and the adjuster screws didn't work. The "shoulder" (not the head) on the '72 adjuster screws was just a bit too thick. They were replaced with what I was told was correct for a '71 and they fit great. The plastic inserts on this set snap directly into the panel.
