AHHH Rich, just realised you are talking about the two holes on the front drivers armour plate, I think they are counter sunk rivets in the two holes as the rivet head needs to clear the vision slot sliding armour glass when fully down. I will check on a carrier but i think you will find the rivet heads on the inside on the angle iron aligned with those two holes.

I've just checked, there are on the early carriers but only visible on the inside. This suggest Kevin was right and they're countersunk holes.
Perhaps the ones visible in your photos are replacement ones? The earlier carriers don't have the driving aid on top of the steering box according to my info. Ben

Yes they are there, and as Ben says, the holes are countersunk with a flat finished rivet

Ok excelent cheers Shaun... they are very well hidden from the front
 been counter sinking the hell out of my armour the last couple of days i have been loaned a pneumatic rivet hammer the chap is seeing if he has some truss head snaps to form the right style head... then i will film myself having a go for you all to laugh at.
