Can someone with an early Discovery 1 V8 tell me what the choke control should look like? Picture below shows choke knob exiting from dashboard, it looks to me like there was originally a plate or something like it behind it as it looks like there's an impression of something oblong having been there with six punctures of the fascia surface. I have tried to look for images online but found nothing. The two screws below I think are nothing to do with the choke, possibly someone had something fixed there at some point

Any help much appreciated!

So if you have a 3.5 disco between 1989-1990 years, both the carburettors had a choke that was operated by a bimetal assembly CUD2399L as shown as no.16 in the drawing below so not cable operated.
Later in 1990 the 3.5s were fuel injection until the 3.9 arrived.

Thanks for the responses, I checked the official LR manual can't find anything regarding automatic chokes but it very definitely shows and discusses the manual choke.
