Identify this door hinge!

I was disassembling my door hinges in prep to rebuild them and the top hinge that was on the drivers door doesn't seem correct. My truck is a bit of a basket case build in that I got it in pieces.

The top door hinge should have provisions for two springs, however it only has one. The passenger side hinges look as expected. The drivers side hinges physically fit. I'm figuring I need to find some different hinges for the drivers side but thought I'd ask if someone knows that hinge this is from?

Seems 'Atwood' is stamped on the hinge. I found an ebay listing that showed similar for a hinge that was listed as a GMC but it had provisions for two springs like you would expect. The bottom hinge has the same stamping.

The hinge pocket side (not sure what to call it) only has one slot in it, not one of each side. Also the hinge slot seems to have a bushing.

Similarly, the hinge bar only has a hole drilled on one side for a spring
