I'n, not a "little Jeep" guy, so I can't speak with much authority on things not common to the "big Jeeps", but I'm not terribly surprised that V-6 motor mounts and F-134 mounts are different. But, in the Jeep world - Willys-Overland "might" have made a one-size fitted all mount. We've also learned to be careful to not say "Willys would have never done that...".
So, now you have a frame to either start a project to build a CJ-? F-134 or a frame to trade up to the V-6 frame.
Again, not at all unusual for folks not to know just what a particular piece of Jeep actually is, Most times there is no malice or deceit intended, just lack of knowledge.
Good luck.
