Two fender tags on a Superbird?

[70Sbird]

Hello all,
In anticipation of my journey to Alabama next month I was flushing my cooling system and doing some much needed "general cleaning" on my engine compartment this weekend when I saw something that I had never noticed before. Under a coat of paint and dust, I have two extra holes drilled in my driver's side inner fender for a second fender tag. My fender tag screwed into the inner fender about where the battery is, and then there are two more holes roughly at about the shock tower location. Just toward the firewall where my emissions sticker is. I can get a picture but I won't be near the car again until Wednesday. Did any Superbirds have a second fender tag?
If so what would have been on it as all of my options are listed on the first one?
Just wondering, and really amazed that I have never noticed this in eight years of working on this car!

If it really had a second tag it should only have three holes .  The first and second tag should share the middle hole.

Stuart,
I have seen that before on "two tag" cars and the TA/AAR Trans Am tags attached with one current fender tag screw and a third to hold down the other side. this is a separate set of holes that match the fender tag spacing and diameter back about a foot from my tag's location by the battery. I'm looking to see if I have any pictures on my laptop here but I haven't been able to find one yet. I get a pic on Wednesday

OK, I found a picture of this area.
The two holes (you can even sort of see them in the pic) are in the yellow circle

Im pretty sure that wasnt for a fender tag. maybe someone had some sort of accessory screwed in place there.

Is that where the cruise control unit attached?

Cruise Control did go in that area

That's where my cruise unit is attached although the holes for the bracket are a bit bigger than tag screw holes.

our 70 roadrunner has those same holes but I dont think they have ever been used.

to the original poster,

are the areas in question actual holes or just dimples? if dimpled Im going with them being templates for any car getting cruise control.

I'll take a better look tomorrow night when I get home.
They looked like holes tha have been painted over.
Thanks for the responses

Did any Superbirds have a second fender tag?

No because SB's were built at LR and LR didn't use 2nd fender tags for additional options like other plants.

my old 68 had the extra holes there also. I never knew what they were for.

The holes are the pilot holes to attach the cruise control unit, some inner fenders have dimples some have holes.

70Sbird, my Bird (175667) also has these two identical holes, never really noticed them before your posting
