Correct battery hold down for '62?

I need some help figuring out which parts I need to hold down the battery in my '62 F100. I don't have a shop manual (yet), and I'm somewhat confused by what's available on Dennis Carpenter.

My battery tray looks like this:
Battery Tray Assembly | Dennis Carpenter Ford Restoration Parts

Do I need all three of these parts?:
Battery Hold Down Bracket | Dennis Carpenter Ford Restoration Parts
Battery Hold Down Bolt | Dennis Carpenter Ford Restoration Parts

Wrong! Falcon, Fairlane & Mustang only with R-24 F battery. Fits at the bottom of the tray.

Battery Hold Down Bolt | Dennis Carpenter Ford Restoration Parts
Yes.

Battery Hold Down Bolt | Dennis Carpenter Ford Restoration Parts
Yes.
Lower picture: Here's the correct battery hold down and etc parts for 1961/64.

There's an adjustable universal "fitz-all" hold down available NOS: AOA-10718-B

NOS PARTS LTD in Waxahachie TX has 2 = 972-937-2201.

CARPENTER NOS OBSOLETE PARTS in Concord NC has 4 = 800-476-9653.

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has 28 = 800-543-4959.

C1TB-10A705-A .. Bracket-Battery Hold Down to Cowl Top / Obsolete

B. F. WHITE MOTOR CO. in Stanton TX has 4 = 432-756-3321.

Thanks a ton for your help NumberDummy! So it sounds like I need 4 parts in total:

C1TZ-10A707-A - Outer hold down bolt
C0TZ-10756-A - Inner hold down bolt
AOA-10718-B - Square "bracket" that the outer and inner hold down bolts screw into
C1TB-10A705-A - Hold down to cowl

I've already ordered the first two, I'll have to make a phone call to get the others ordered.

Please let me know if any of this is incorrect.

The battery used back then was something like a PowerPunch, a group 29 tall, narrow wide battery. Just be aware that there probably isn't a modern battery where the top bracket will fit.

It's the R-29F that has been reproduced with the original tar top. There are 2 versions: Power Punch & Auto-Lite Sta-Fill.

Yep. Neat batteries, but they are close to 300 clams, not many folks other than the concourse restoration folks would need one.
