Apparently, Chevrolet commissioned a Brazilian company to assemble the trucks for them in South America, and they used many carry over parts from previous generations of pickups. The year ranges for the specific body styles were also different. This site details the specs for the South American C10s by year. |
Those front fenders would have been made specifically for those trucks. It's a 69-72 stamping w/o a side marker whole. Something GM never made for the US trucks

Being sunken on either side would be a safer arrangement than sticking up over the rail. But having the spare on the driver side is the safest option. On the driver side to the front it is out of your periphery behind you where you rely on your exterior mirror, which it doesn't block. On the passenger side it obstructs the view to your extreme right, even in your interior mirror
