The C-150 should have a single spring motor supported by the 3 brackets you show. This is then covered by 2 pieces of falsework, finished wooden pieces that fill the gap between the motor board and the cabinet.

My guess would be that someone removed the original falsework, brackets, and motor, then built the rails and drilled the new holes so that they could use another mechanism in this cabinet.

Yes I am aware of that I also was thinking on that idea.
My intentions are as follows, I will do is get a dowell for one hole big enugh to fillit useing woodflue to hold it in place. Nex I also am going to totally remove all the upper woods that was placed there the railings of course. I have the upper wood piece to replacethat goes around.
and well otheris that I have to use the brackets I already have I think thaT than this all shoud be ok. I hope
