When I restored my M38A1 I found that there are 3 different front
fenders! The earliest have the extended hat channel that has the two
bolt holes that mounts to the frame that your questioning (Same on
M38's). These fenders also do not have the doubler plate (later style
fenders) that is installed externally over the seam where the upper &
lower halves of the fender meet. The next type of fender still retained
the longer hat channel W/bolt holes but has the doubler plate over the
seam. The last style has the doubler plate but the hat channel is cut
off to just hang below the fender inner skin. At least that is what I
found when I went to hang them at restoration reassembly (of course
after all that work).
Hope this helps
