Bossbill,
Hey thanks for the post.  Great that you posted all the photos you did!  Unfortunate that I can only see the first one.  The others are just blank. 
Scott,
If there is indeed a couple different clutch pedals depending on if you have a BB or SB motor like has been stated, why does WCCC only list one application on their web page?

The site controls pictures and their properties. Not sure why only you have issues. Try again after you read this post.

I'm unsure if the added bracket is BB. I checked another picture from an earlier edition of the MPC and it shows the added bracket for all cars, not just BB.
Although there appears to be two clutch pedals in 67 I'm unsure of what to make of mine. The pedal support is very early. Without codes on the pedal it's unknown if it's built at the same time as the support.

Regardless, the other pictures show how the conversion works with "real hardware."

Below is a response I got after contacting Mustang Steve.  Clears up the offset question.  I could have more, for the variety of reasons he has listed.  One thing that will change my spacing by a little would be to replace the rubber stop on the clutch pedal support.  Mine is "pounded" down to only about 1/8in thick.  I looked at pictures of new ones, and they appear to be more like 1/4 to 3/8 thick.  I replaced all my bushings in things, and my pins were not really wore much like from metal on metal, other than the rod to hole connection on the clutch pedal to equalizer bar.  I still have a little play in there even with new bushings, and there is visible wear.  At some point I will need to address that by either renewing the hole in clutch pedal, and buying a replacement rod or getting all new.  Clutch pedals are not cheap though.
He also sent me some photos of a stock 67 in a GT500 and a 69 stang clearly showing the offset in both.

"David,
The offset on 67-70 power brake cars was original.  See attached pic of 67 GT500 and 69 Mustang pedals.  Usually the clutch pedal is about 1” to 1-1/2” higher than the brake pedal.  This can vary a bit, usually caused by worn bushings in the clutch pedal shaft.  BBK kit will make it fit as original. ( https://www.mustangsteve.com/product/bbk/ )
There were two different clutch pedals in 67-69, but both sit at the same height.  One of the pedals has an offset bracket to move the actuation rod to the side a bit.
Michael,
MustangSteve"

Thanks for everyone's help on this.  Great site with very helpful members!
David

I saw this C7ZZ-7519-A pedal listing on eBay, looks like the 2nd photo Bill shared (with the extra bracket).
Many pictures if somebody wishes to cut and paste them into this post (or add to their file photos)

Please note that I have modified my original post after noticing I confused a 65-66 pedal with my 67 stash. It didn't help that the 68 pedal assembly I purchased over 20 years ago was assembled with the wrong clutch pedal.
This doesn't affect the OPs question but I did lead you astray on the clutch pedal parts.
