If the bolts are just different lenghts, they probably more than likely have to go where the cover plate is thicker (allowing the whole they go through to be longer). Either that or they go into the block where the whole is deeper but I would rather think it is the first reason. The nutted stud either had something else that bolted on the stud other than the cover plate, or the stud was threaded into the block which allowed the cover plate to be slid on over the stud and the stud could then be used as a guide for installation (the nut threaded on after several of the bolts were started). Those are the two primary reasons for use of a threaded stud/nut. In future projects you might try putting the bolts in cover plate holes when removing them from threaded holes in block during a cleaning process. When I was turning wrenches sometimes I would see up to 3 or 4 different lenghts of bolts that bolted something on. Staying really strict on keeping track of them allowed a person to reassemble exactly the way it was tore down. I don't mean to sound like a hard stickler but it really is a good system to follow. Take an engine out of modern day vehicle and tear it clear down and how many nuts and bolts do you got? Hundreds. And you have to put it back together. Good reason to have good system even on small projects. Pictures are good but it seems there is always something you forgot to take a picture of and they leave out some detail such as how long the bolt is when you take the picture of something assembled.
