Trim and window help please

I'm getting back to working on my 55 Super 88 and unfortunately due to the passage of time, lack of photos, and things getting shuffled around, I don't remember how the upper part of the trim that fits on the front edge of the hood attaches (photo). I'm aware that Fusick's carries the clips used to attach the Y shaped extensions on either side of the grill, but I'm not finding any info regarding the hood trim.
Additionally I found the driver's side vent window regulator has one of the mounts broken off. An online search only shows regulators for tri-five Chevy. They look identical to the one from my Olds with the exception my driver's side regulator matches the Chevy passenger side regulator. Is it possible that Chevy and Olds mounted them differently and they would be interchangeable?

Upper mounting holes for hood trim.

Upper ones are the same clips as the fender extensions (that Fusick sells) - lowers are just J-clips with 3/8” head sheet metal bolts

Upper slots you have annotated use the same fender extension moulding clips that Fusick sells - lower tabs are just J-clips with 3/8" head sheet metal bolts - hope this helps
