I think you are right Bob.
The previous owner of my bird add some on the hood in the wrong place, I mean not were the ones on the A12 cars used to be. As the hood was new when I bought the car didn't want to mess it up trying to fill the holes, so just reshape the holes made some new "round shims" (don't know how to say it correctly) to screw on the hood and it already looks better.
I think there is a post here on this forum where the dimensions of the correct locations are. It was not that long ago.. There was some pics also added to that post.
The location on mine looks good but go with the factory A12 location it will be easier as the studs on mine, where the hood pin goes, are sitting too low so it is very difficult to adjust.
I'll try to find that post
