I seem to remember 2 on the outside and 1 on the inside of the triangular section.

I could very well be wrong.

Maybe someone who is currently doing the job will let us know.

I looked over my pictures and Dick Steinkamp's write up and only see two. I drilled two holes to get at them and the CE hog troughs only have two holes in the rollbar bulkhead so until I see a picture or several of three bolts into the hog trough bulkhead, I sticking with 2 as the answer.

Ok well my car has 3.

Two pick up the inner part of the hog trough ( as per normal) and there is one on the outer lip between the roll bar and the door jamb .

The only thing I can think of was that there was a hole in the bottom plate when I removed the bottom section of the roll bar and I assumed the bolt had rusted away so I put it back.
