Chrono Pack Mounting base

I recently obtained a set of Chrono Pack twin dials but when I tried installing them on my 2005 R52S, I discovered that my Steering Column Mounting Bracket has a "One-piece" base.
Does any one know the correct part number for the Steering Column Bracket?
As far as I can determine, it's 51457157357 but when searching, I found confusing information.
Some say it's for the single Dial while others say it fits the Twin Dials.

Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.

According to Real OEM, the number you have is for the twin.
Part #51457135354 is for the single.

Thanks, that's what I thought but some of the pictures on eBay and other sellers don't show the correct fitting for the twin dials.
It's hard to explain but the front of the mount that fits against the dials should have two distinct and separate curves to fit around both dials. A lot of the pictures only show one curve (opening).

Appreciate your info.

I hate it when vendors use "stock" photos instead of the exact parts.
Just creates unnecessary confusion.
