I have these two tins for the rear, why are they different? (holes and notch)
Are the differences year related or something else?

I think there are at least 3 different versions of this tin piece.

Can you post a good complete photo of each of yours to compare them?

I have one I will add if its different than yours.

Interesting. What did Porsche decide to add or change to things poking through the rear tin?
