The mounting points of both those might match. But one is for the 4.6, the other for a 3l engine. You have the 04' 4.4 - the oil cut-off might not be right one. Plus, the 04' model has another cut-off for the oil filter, which is also under the car, as opposed to the pre 04' v8 which have the oil filter in the engine bay.
The bolts for the stiffening plate are torque to yield and zinc coated. Not sure what the relative strength spec is for them (9.8 10.9 12.9?) and this is important, because if you use a Home Depot bolt with a lower strength, and you apply the recommended torque, you might twist them off, or even worse, have them mounted, but they can fail whenever you need the car the most.

Neither are correct. 2004-2006 V8 (N62 engine) has oil filter housing on the bottom. You need the one pictured below. Center opening is larger and centered (where the oil filter housing is located).

For only a $1 more for each bolt it is probably a better idea to get them from the dealer. Thanks for the replies.

31106761790 REINFORCEMENT PLATE 6.70# $183.40
31101096987 HEX BOLT WITH WASHER - M10X55 6-QTY $4.79
33306760587 HEX NUT WITH FLANGE - M10-10 ZNS3 6-QTY $1.46

Note: These bolts are TORQUE to Yield bolts. Which means you torque them down to spec, then crank them another 90 degrees. When you look at these $29 worth of bolts and nuts you will see they are not normal. The nuts have a oval opening that crushes when torqued correctly. They are a ONE TIME use bolt.

Can you use a grade 8 bolts from some other source? Sure. What will be the long term out come? Who knows. That is what engineering is for. If you choose to go down the cheap/alternative path, then you as the consumer accept the out comes. Only a knuckle headed PO or low information tech would leave off the plate and mounting bolts as they hold the sway bar mounting points to the sub frame. Not a good plan. Somewhere there is a plate and a set of biggie bolts laying in a shop. Did the vehicle in question come with any maintenance history? Good starting point in looking for the free/original plate.

There is one listed on Ebay for $80 with the right holes and part number (correct image too!)

Smokey, I must say, you take might fine car porn pix. That of the cover plate looking up at the plate is a work of art. Don't tell me that's taken with a smartphone ......

No idea, I did a Google images search. Found two pics. Posted for OP. Just trying to be constructive and helpful I guess.....
