Leicaflex with missing screws?

I have just received a Leicaflex body. It is a very early serial nr 1081009, so it is just outside the first 1000 Leica SLRs ever. Unfortunately the state is not very good. I knew that before I bought it, but now I see some holes that might be missing screws.

In this photo you can see it with opened back and turned upside down. Can anyone with a Leicaflex please check and confirm it it is missing something there?

Hello Dirk!

Through the holes you can reach 2 deeper sitting  grab screws. After removing them, the eyepiece can get removed. Since your eyepiece is not falling out, the screws should be in....😉

Thanks @wagner and @romanus53

I was worried because the general state is not that great and the user seems to have not much knowledge about it (or acts as if...)

Now I am more confident this oldie actually still works as it should.
