Yes you are correct.
Rumor has it for the Euro bound cars the factory put that plug in the holes on the front end and put the light weight bumper supports on the rear. I have seen this plug before on a car of the same vintage. It just seemed to make since that the factory would would decide where the car was going after the paint was dry and they would slap in a flat black plug. That along with my detomaso dash script, 300k Speedometer and Euro rear amber lens all seemed to add up. If somebody knows the real story I would love to hear it.
