[Healeys] BN1 carb questions

We're finally back on work on my BN1.  Since it's about a 2-hour drive to look
at the closest other one that we know of, I hope the list can come through
again with the following:

The carbs that were on my car when I bought it were (according to Jim Taylor,
when I sent them to him for rebuild) a mixture of Healey, MG, and something
else that I can't remember right now.  The air cleaners and an as-yet-unknown
number of other things were missing.  The Moss ("Manifolds - 100-4") and
Workshop Manual drawings show two brackets that appear to fasten at one end to
the studs sticking up from the "ears" on the intake manifold--and at the other
end to _____?????  I've gone through all my photos of other cars and can't
find anything that shows this detail.

Also, I assume that the choke-cable bracket fastens to the back of the carb
flanges (DPO had it fastened to the front--no air cleaners,
remember)--correct?

As usual, TIA for your help!
