The bracket looks original although I don't remember it having that large slot. Memory is getting shaky, so maybe it did, I don't recall for sure. However, way back in the '70's when I put a second brake light on the right side of my truck, I used a piece of flat bar that was about the same thickness and width as the original bracket and fabricated two new brackets, one for each side, so they would match. I cannot begin to tell you where the original bracket ended up. Wish I could help you out with it. About the biggest difference in what I fabricated and the original was the lack of the stiffening crease that is in the middle of the bracket. Those are stamped in the brackets with a bazillion ton press and I just couldn't find one of those with unscheduled time available. I suppose you could cut a notch across the bend and weld in a small piece of angle to create that stiffening crease. Or just trim a piece of angle and weld it in forgetting about the notch part. Or a triangle shaped piece of flat bar. Just a few thoughts.
