Jim,

I can send you pictures, but mine is a 73 455 and I do not know if it is the same.

Jim,
Here is a pic that shows two of the parts in your photo. As Tom described, the bar in your pic, and the thick washer are for alternator mounting.
The washer is critical for proper belt alignment, and the bar helps support the alternator against the tension of the belt. Ours is also a 403.
