On my Nova, one is pointed and the other is flat or blunt. I'm sure they grabbed what ever was there at the time.

I believe they are both tapered...will confirm later when I visit the shop.

Checked our 70 survivor...both bolts are tapered with sort of flat end...hope that helps.

Looking at my 71' Nova assembly manual, there are a total of 4 bolts holding the tray -- the two bolts that go forward into the radiator support are number 3960314 ... 5/16-18x13/16” flanged, pointed. The two from the bottom are 3945712 ... 5/16-18 flanged, flat nose (has a good sized washer attached)

Hope this helps ... TAZ
