I went out to the warehouse to measure trailer hitch # 40050 for you. The mounting holes that are closest together are 4-7/8 inches apart on center. And from the center hole to the one furthest away it is 9-5/8 inches on center.

There is a large clearance hole in the side brackets as well. From the first hole (furthest back on the vehicle) to the center of that clearance hole is 2-1/2 inches. And from the middle hole to the center of the clearance hole is 2-3/8 inches. I have included a picture showing these measurements for you.
