horns killing me

hey guys, trying to figure out the correct hi/low note horns for my 70 442. i am almost positive the 70 comes with the straight bracket with a ever slight curve at end {see D horn pics}. now if you look at C and H horn pics the mounting brackets have a distinct bend to them. not sure if these are 71-72 442 or something else? what are the correct lettered notes for my car? each horn has a circle above the d in delco and only the D horn has the letter H in the circle. the other two horns H and C have nothing in the circle? writing this thread is starting to give me a headache LOL.
thanks charlie,,, for some reason i am having trouble loading pics? if you can answer any questions until i get this figured out it would be great!

Charlie, I've got a 1970 and it has one G and one H horns on it. Plus they have a straight mounting bracket, without the dogleg the ones in your photos have. There's always a chance they were swapped out over the years. Its had three owners prior to me and one of them did a fair amount of "custom" work to the car.

I just went back and looked at your pictures again. Mine has the H and G inside the circle like one of your pictures. They're installed on the car but reaching around the radiator it feels like the mounting brackets are straight.
I've got some core supports from other years (1969-73) and they all have one G and one H horns.
