Cooper remote gearstick hole

[BLT]

Hi. Does anyone know why some early Cooper remote gearshift holes(the square one in the tunnel) have two notches cut out of them whereas some are just a simple square hole? Parnell's book page 113 shows the one with the notches, page 116 shows the one without. M-machine panels have the notches and I just wondered what's right for a MK1 1965 Cooper? Thanks

the two little notches where mk2

mk1's where smooth.

I don't know what the notches are for as they don't seam to do anything
