The 42-B is a WW2 era bracket. The MS bracket above is relatively modern and has design differences.

The more modern ones I have are a thinner gauge material than the WW2 issue.

I thought this one was a heavier gauge steel therefore possibly WW2 era. Guess you live and learn more everyday. My problem, I forget more everyday too.
