RV2 AC Compressor – Searching for Education!

I'm working on a 1974 440 car and am restoring the AC system.
I order a new/remanufactured RV2 compressor for a 74 440. I also head down the path of rebuilding the "what I think is original" RV2 compressor off the car.
New compressor arrives; it has three mounting holes.
The "original" compressor has two mounting holes.
(See pics)
Does anyone know the differences - or the "why"s of two holes versus three holes?
Big block small block - were the AC pumps different?
Thanks in advance for any...
