Was the Delco the proper number for the senior car or maybe another brand car? If the top tension bracket is the same, would think the mounting brackets would have less to do with belt fit since they're not very wide to offset the hole much. Would think the different brackets might be more for locating it front to back for pulley alignment rather than side to side.

Belt lists as the same with different belt for AC cars (curious why since AC cars use same fan and gen pulley setup) -- so would seem to indicate that your new Autolite generator has a larger pulley or belt doesn't fit as far down in the groove or possibly one or the other generators was off another brand car.
