Not sure about the holes, but do you have the four fingers? or the three? Sort of like two H patterns one on either side of the centre. The photos on this link show that it had one hole for the cable guide. I know the link is from the US, but I would think they were the same as us back then as all would have been German made VWs.

I havent looked in a while

but from memory it has one bolt up the top near the speedo to hold the tube and 2 bolts where it protrudes on the inner guard

the headlight wiring tubes have 2 bolts for sure where they attach to the inner guard

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

Oh bugger,
I can see my pics have made it confusing. I think thats either a late Oval front, or not an oval front.......... Bueller?
