I have an easier way to determine your bolt pattern. You'd need to measure the distance between the center of one stud to the center of the stud adjacent to it.

If the distance is:
2-5/8" - the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2
2-3/4" - the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4
3" - the bolt pattern is 5 on 5
3-1/4" - the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2
