Default 68 SS Fender Specs

Help!!! First of all, let me say I am new to the resto game. So this may be a novice question.

I have a 68 that I took down to the frame. Removed the frame and had it blasted, painted and put back on. I have checked the cross measurements and everything matches.

I got new fenders from a local shop and the left side lines up perfectly. However, the right side has about an 3/4'' to 1'' gap from the doors.

I am wondering is it possible that they gave me both a RS and a SS fender. How would I tell the difference?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Doesn't matter, the fenders are dimensionally the same. The only difference with an RS fender compared to a regular one is the added mounting tab near the grill edge for the headlight mounting.
Take some front subframe to body measurements on both sides, as well as corner-to-corner measurements. I have a feeling the left side may be a little too far forward.
