I have a 76 TR6 that is completely original under the hood and can also
verify that the top of the fender well under the hood has the two small
holes punched into it where the previously used metal plate would have
mounted. I have the yellow sticker under the inside of the bonnet instead.
However my yellow sticker is under the bonnet on the passenger (right) side
of the car above the carburettors. Maybe after Triumph installed a number
of the stickers on the driver's side for a while, someone in charge at the
factory decided that they should go under the bonnet on the side with the
carburettors where it was more useful! Who knows.

Chip,
I can verify the yellowish sticker. Mine was on the top of the driver's
inner fender, and it talks about choke adjustment. I also had the two
holes
punched in the fender (under that decal). The funny thing about the decal
is that while detailing choke adjustment, it is located on the opposite
side
of the engine bay from the carburettors.
As for the other decal, I cannot even think of what you are talking about.
If you provided more information as to what it is for, I may be able to
help
you.
