Yep, between you and the machinist, and their shop and your house, the engine has had more than plenty of opportunities to rotate slightly.
And maybe they didn't even bother to put it at TDC once done with their work, since they did not have the damper it sounds like.
But just as likely, or maybe even MORE likely, your damper and pointer are not matched up.
Remember Ford used at least two, or three different timing mark locations, and at least three or four different timing pointer designs and locations over the years.
Your pointer's location (it's not a stock Bronco pointer) could be from any number of different setups, but presumably it came with the 351 from the donor?
What you really need to do first is to determine if the engine is still at TDC and your marks don't match the pointer, or if the engine has simply rotated.
But yes, it does make an important difference to you. That knowledge is critical to knowing just what ignition timing you're setting when you adjust it.
Without knowing TDC, you'll never know to trust your numbers.
