I had a friend point out the the front bumper is upside down for the winch option. It appears (I think) that someone added the winch and wound it from the bottom if that makes sense. I know very little about this but when I look at the winch side guide brackets and pictures on line this makes...
The offical released version of the battery hold downs will look like the below drawing. Radii were added around the terminals for additional clearance. If you order from Fil, this is what you'll get:
