Plastic bracket holding up side of rear bumper, '98 V70

Greetings all,

I have been working on getting a 1998 V70 5T road worthy and am almost there. I replaced the rear bumper reinforcement rail and the metal brackets and have the bumper just about back on when I noticed the side plastic brackets. These are the plastic brackets that are attached to the side of the car behind the rear wheel wells. They have grooves in them to hold up the rear bumper, and the passenger side is missing a groove! I watched the video by Robert on how to remove a rear bumper and at the 8:03 mark he shows this plastic bracket.
(I would post his video here, but not sure how to do that from his YouTube channel!!)
I don't know what these parts are named or the part numbers, but are these interchangeable on the V70's between 1998 to 2000?

Appreciate your replies!

V70 XC is different according to this to other wagons.
