Skid steer quick attach widths

Ok here is the problem. It looks like Mahindra used a norrowed down version of the SSQA or a BASTARD configuration in order to get a low profile with the levers between the locking pin mechanism as opposed to underneath them. So they have wacked about 2 inches off each side and used the inner locking pin hole in the bucket side mounting plate. Their mounts are not at the normal 44 inches wide but maybe 40 inches wide. So a Mahindra could mount to a SSQA bucket with 2" slop on both sides but a skid steer could not mount to the Mahindra bucket because it is a bastard 40" wide setup. The ear spacing on my tractor is 32 inside and 39.75 outside. Which puts the locking pins about 36in apart which is right in the middle which is where you don't want it to be because now you have to move your mounting holes farther back. If you can have your locking pin not underneath your mounting ears then you can be 2-3 inches closer with your bucket. The first image is my CAD drawing with the Amazon latch plates at 44 inches and my loader ear spacing. The second image is a drawing of the Mahindra quick attach which I don't have and I am trying to reverse engineer. I may have to compromise and live with the pins being farther away from the bucket or start from scratch and make new latch plates from scratch. The Kubota bucket that I bought does not have the inner lock pin holes so it would have to be modified if I cheat like Mahindra did and make a Bastard SSQA. As an engineer, I don't like standards that are not standardized.
