Hi
I assume this is your 1989 2.5 ?
Only a hunch, but if this gearbox is used in a variety of different vehicles there may be more than one type of mounting bracket. The two bolt heads nearest your black bracket could simply be to attach a different style bracket. If the holes are open to the gearbox innards you would need the bolts to keep the oil in.
The strip with two bolt heads further inboard appears in gearbox photos on the net, but I don't know what that's for.
Over to the experts in early Ducatos to tell us the real story .....
