I think I'm right in saying the two holes beside the front door hinge are where the draught excluder ends - held by a couple of rivets. In this way the end of the excluder is protected from damage by the sill flange. The back corner should be similar and the step in the metalwork above the curve doesn't look correct here.
On a Mk2 Ruby (not sure if Mk1 are the same) the excluder goes all the way up the door pillars and across the top. The rear quarter trim panel has a half-moon cut-out level with the door lock to ensure the lock doesn't tear the excluder.
I have seen cars with excluder across the bottom too but I don't think this is correct.
I'm open to correction on any of this as I've never seen a complete undamaged original one but in the absence of any other info...
