Default RHD engine mount replacement

G'day,
Fellas, I need some help with this, its regarding the righthand drive XJ engine mounts.
Trying to find a replacement for the left (+/-the right)
For the LHD (yours in the US) the parts catalogue states the same for left and right, but for the RHD (am in Australia) it only states 'quantity needed: 1) and then nothing for the other mount of the 4WD (mine), only the 2WD (so the 2WD def has two different OEM mount numbers listed for it)

Can anyone tell me if the RHD (4WD) has two different types?
I found two different types on the net, but Rockauto and other sites dont give me the answer.
One mount is definately the 'type with the hole' and the other mount appears to be 'the other type', please see pics.

Sorry for the somewhat lengthy post, Thanks in advance for your time. See pics for the types.

Could the bottom one be for the 4 cylinder engine, and therefore the top one for the 6 cyl 4.0 ??

Hmm, the lack of response for this RHD issue is striking, understandably.
However, as feedback (and for those who were curious about our RHD's engine mounts in OZ): I worked out we DO have different engine mounts left and right.
Our left hand mount is the same as yours, the right one has the looks of the 4 cylinder engine mount, the one with two studs, no hole.
this all FYI

That's not a real RHD, you can see the dash on the left sticking up

Check this site, he's a fellow Aussie and has tons of info on his XJ site here. Might help you, or maybe you can contact and he can set you straight right away.

I used these on my RHD XJ, I had to cut a slot so the steering shaft could fit but worked great.
