Can anyone confirm which pumps were originally installed on the S/C Cobras?

I'm trying to make sense of the differing information being offered.

Having a reserve on a full race car doesn't make much sense to me and I'm wondering if the 427 S/C fuelling arrangements were cobbled together when they were converted from race cars and that included a reserve fuel facility.

What is also intriguing is the location of the pumps. There is a plate behind the aluminium trunk panel that has two pairs of holes for mounting the SW pumps, but none of the period pictures I've seen appear to use those mounting locations due to the spacing between the pumps. Why?
