The ones with only the two outside bolts are for models that can be pulled right up without the cover and the attached long shaft being blocked by the firewall.

The ones with the 2 bolts plus the center bolt are typically for models that will not clear the firewall unless the center nut is first removed prior to pulling the cover up.
