Is the bracket not around the back of that pipe? On mine it is engine side of the water pump, I'm not sure if it is visible from the radiator side.
E: It is visible from the front:

No, it's not there at all, and now I've missed the 7 day return period

Looking at your picture my pump's completely different. It has an extra pipe coming off it that yours doesn't. It's obviously the wrong one but it bolts up ok and the notch for the tensioner spring is in the right place etc

It's only a waterpump,dear!
I am sure that there will be a werido out there who will be desperate for your early pump....if it's any help,I did exactly the same thing when I first built my 2.7,but I did not discover my error until the engine was in the car!

In your situation,engine out of the car,it's not going to effect the belt if you have to remove it.
It's belt/water contamination that may be an issue.
