Accelerator pedal question - 65 Barracuda v8

Hello, couldn't find a clear answer in other threads so I'll ask. Below is the accelerator pedal that was bouncing around loose in my '65 barracuda v8 that I recently purchased. It looked like a piece was missing at the top so I ordered a replacement pedal from classic industries, which has the same 2 holes and nothing else at the top. Is there supposed to be a plate of some sort there? Does the pedal attach to the "spoon" shaped accelerator assembly?
