The fixings differ from year to year.  On my cars (71/72), the top ones are
bolts from the front - the starter uses one of them and there is a thread in the
engine case for the other to save using a  nut - earlier ones have a nut and
bolt I think.  The two lowers are studs fitted to the engine case and the nuts
are the gearbox side.
