Not strange at all. Period correct as well 
I germany there is no standard for the mounting holes like there is in the US (also these days the plates on new cars are mostly mounted with frame surrounds (with dealer scripts) that provide the mounting holes.
Period correct is: bring your own drill
Most would have been mounted with 2 bolts shot through the plate somewhere in the middle. There are plastic caps (black or white) to cover up the bolts.
Only in factory catalogues the plates magically hold onto the car without bolts....
