I'm not really familiar with the early type 3 years, but I thought that ALL the 
type 3s had the vent hole there. I know that they all have it from 68-73. I 
believe there is a passageway built into the top tin that mates up to that 
hole. If you don't have a vent there, then no air can get thru the oil cooler, 
which would be really bad news.

Could the black tin be a beetle part?
