Those brackets on the rear wings

There is a bracket with a hole in it fitted to the inside of each of the rear wings on my 69 Traveller.
Are they for mudlaps?

Without a picture it's difficult to say, but I would assume they were for mudflaps.

Those were not a factory extra, but may have been fitted by the dealer or a previous owner at any time during the last 39 years.

Just having one hole sounds odd though, surely two holes would be needed to fix flaps correctly?

There is a bracket on the inner wings above the shackle and near the wiring that was used during production for lifting, often its rusted away or been removed.

Never seen that before.

are they to fit a strengthening bar to stop wings wobbling?

probably a previous owner for attaching mudflaps is my guess
