sam -
look at the photo on the first page of this thread of the early model 15. Note the spacing is very wide between the two bolts. There is a third hold in the tang between those bolts. I don't think it was much time before Bo realized he could use two bolts to fasten the tenite and make it look a bit more uniform in bolt placement. No big deal. We know RMK drilled the Orlando holes, so if he had to drill another in a Solingen, no problem.
I have to check, but I think the bolt location was molded into the tenite to make bolt location standardized.
