If it's threaded on both sides you've got the right one.

This looks like a nice pair of 14x7s on EBay

Not quite-all 1970 Cougar Eliminators got 14x6" wheels, 1970 Cyclone received 14x7" wheels. Caps are the same but trim rings are likely different? You can see the caps sit deeper inside the dish of the Cyclone rims in pictures. I know Mustangs had 14x7 in Mach 1 and 15x7 on Boss 302/429, but Cougars didn't. Not even Boss 302 powered ones (I do know that the 15" rims and F60-15 tires required an upgraded spindle for the Mustang to pass Ford's durability tests). Ford and Mercury did things differently on many details in that era, I've learned never to assume anything.
