This is the correct replacement; it is exactly like the later MCs but 
is slightly different from yours.

The angled  outlet is supposed to feed the LF wheel. For this you 
need the late LF steel brake line. I have good used ones if you're 
interested. The two holes on the left are for the brake light 
switches. When you're done I don't think you'll find that there is an 
"extra" hole.
