I lined them up on a flat surface. The ring gear postion is closer than I thought. Although it appears the flex plat I was using my be a little bent. The converter mounting surface is off by about 1/8th.

On the left is the 28oz that was in the Bronco.

The position of the ring gear is not what changes with the different offset. What does change is the converter landing pads relative to the end of the crank. It appears that both flexplates in the 2nd picture have the same offset with the plate stepping down. In your first pic there appears to be one with the other offset where the flexplate steps up via the bubble at the edge of the plate.
