Default F-40 and F-41

Which 'A' body GM cars got the extra brace that tied the front upper control are mount to the front lower control arm mount?
Crawling through a junk yard years ago I took sway bars and control arms off of an SS 454 Chevelle and a 442 Olds. Don't remember which car I took the extra braces off of or even if all makes of GM A bodies got those.
Thanks for any help

My 1969 Chevelle SS396 TH400 3.31 posi (325 or 350HP unknown) had the trailing arms.


My 1969 Cutlass S M20 3.42 antispin W31 with FE2 (boxed lower control arms and sway bar) rear suspension did not.

Seems like they are more normal than I thought and much more widely available.
Thanks
