Oil pressure sensor location

Does anybody know what the factory location of the oil pressure sending unit on a '59 223? I'm thinking it's the spot right above the oil filter. Or, possibly, on the left where I have the gounding strap attached?

On a '60, it is just above the starter. Like this

I have to check my truck to be sure but I think I have the factory sending unit for the light above the starter as shown above. I also use the one above the oil filter for a gauge.
