I'm not exactly sure either what measurement you want, and, yes, the fender looks different.  I measured from the edge of the light bucket to the flat surface of the radiator support and got 4" right next to the bracket.  BTW, this is on a "70 Challenger as well.

That is a '71 fender.  Back in the mid 80's I bought two fenders from the dealer for my 70 Challenger, and mine look like that also, with the cutouts.  From what I have found out from the part numbers, these were supposed to be used on the 1971 Challenger T/A.

My headlamp buckets were also way out of place and I had to drill out the welds and re-position them, I am so glad I test fitted the grill early on.  Sorry, I don't see any pictures I took while doing it.

That's exactly what I needed FY1Cuda, the measurment so I can fabricate that bracket.
Thanks for the help guys!
