Default 67-69 Camaro Lower Control Arms

I just picked up a used set of Lower Control Arms, which were removed from a fairly original 68 Camaro.
There are no holes for the Bump Stop.
Are 69 Camaros the only ones with the holes for the bump stop?

68 uses bump stops but they are on the back side of the control arms.

I did not see any holes in the lower A-Arms.
And, I did see the car which they came off. It is definitely a '68.
However, they may not be original to the car.
The ball joints have been replaced on the uppers as they were bolt in.
The shock mount nuts are welded, so definitely '67/'68.

It was more of a curiosity thing as I am modifying the lower arm shock mount and holes to accommodate a set of Santhuff's.
