Yeah, that's OK, the mount pulls up tight against the other lug.

I think the nearside one is there as a guide, or maybe (during development) a different motor has been fitted to the MC21 frame at some point. If you look at the engine casings, there are surplus mounting holes in them too! Almost as if the NSR motor has been fitted to a different frame too at some point!!
