'75 rear cross member question

[Hedgehog]

The stock rear cross member is missing from my '75 CJ5 . I have a replacement from Rugged Ridge. While doing a pre fit inspection I noticed that the center holes and all look correct. The right side looks correct, but the drivers side is about 3" longer. The drivers side has slots for a license plate so I'm wondering, "Is this correct or is there a problem with one side being longer than the other?"

That's correct as is.

Whow, It looks so odd having one wing be considerably longer than the other, but if the license plate was mounted where it belongs you'd never notice it at all.
