Looks like the one on the blade was bored out and a bigger pin was used. I believe the new bracket has been updated. The bracket on the blade will have to be removed and relocated.
D46U straight blade,D46U cat angle blade,allis chalmers AD4 grader and Khoering 404 dragline. D4C 40A,D4 2T and scraper.
pretty common in my woods to bore the hole bigger and install a new pin to fit. usually done to tighten up worn blades etc
2J850 is the correct number.....so either the joint has been reworked or the replacement part is from the land of "almost right".

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality
id say it has a bush mechanic fix written all over it. maybe the original broke or they made it take a larger pin instead of a proper repair.
I'd agree with trainzkid, looks to have been reworked. "Cut to fit and paint to match" type scenario. Maybe the ears were moved to accommodate the wear.
Being that the 4A blade uses four of those hinges, are they all the same on this unit?
thank-you for all the replies....looks like i am gonna be busy with a half-round file 😊
O/M, they look the same part.....I hope so anyway as I ordered 4 pcs
