The illustration below shows the Lotus Elan and Elan +2 engine mount profiles.
Placing the mounts side by side also shows the offset or difference in height which is 10mm approximately.
The Lotus Elan +2 uses two of the same Ford type engine mounts (part number X026E6011).
This particular mount is easily identified by the concave vertical edges between the upper and lower bolt holes
Summary
These same engine mounts are used in different configurations depending on the vehicle engine installation
Configuration details are shown below -
X026E6011
All Lotus Elan +2
Renault powered Lotus Europa - BOTH SIDES
Lotus Elan fitted with Stromberg carburettors - BOTH SIDES
Lotus Elan fitted with Weber carburettors - EXHAUST SIDE ONLY
A074E0549

Additional useful information
Engine mount spacer, exhaust 701M cylinder block = 1.125" long (Lotus part number X026E0375)
Engine mount bolt, exhaust 701M cylinder block = 5/16"UNC x 1.750" long
