3.4 swap with 3.0 motor mounts.

3.4 swap with 3.0 motor mounts.
1994 Toyota P/U single cab 2WD.
I'm right in the middle of my swapping my 22RE with a 3.4 (2000 tacoma). I buy all the parts listed on the ORS website from the 3.0 that I need and all the 3.4 parts. I get the full kit and get ready to drop the motor in and now I have a whole list of other 3.0 parts to buy. In that list are 3.0 motor mounts (from the block to the plate to the isolator) They supply the isolator. I went to the junkyard and picked up some 3.0 motor mounts complete with the three pieces, both driver and passenger. Now the 3.0 brackets bolt up to the block, but the ORS supplied isolators dont fit the other end of the 3.0 mount. So im trying to figure out which is wrong (ORS or junkyard mounts). Maybe the 4x4 3.0 and 2WD 3.0 isolators are different?
The reason why they dont fit together is the pin that is located above the bolt are differnt distances away. The isolators are nearly identical. Infact the 3.0 mounts from ORS would work perfect on the 22RE.
I had to take a day off of work to go to the junkyard (2hrs away) so I can't just run to the yard and ORS is closed for the weekend.
Also the junkyard isolators are toast (I got the mounts for free) I'm going to go continue with the swap but im not sure what isolators to buy from toyota.
If someone could shed some light on what isolators/mounts I have that would be great.
Thanks,
Nathan

Mine looked just like the one you labled "mystery". Too late to measure them, they are all installed now. That
