Euro Rear Bumper Tow Hook/Eye

My '84 ROW Carrera did not have the toolkit with the car when I bought it. I'd like to get the correct Rear Euro threaded tow hook for the rear bumper tow hole and also the proper bumper plug.

Does anyone know a source for this or a part # to help me find one?

Probably the classifieds. Maybe cruise Euro sites as it's an RoW part. I bought a spare a few months back that someone was selling. I don't know of a source for new ones.

So there is definitely a difference between the US tow hook and the Euro tow hook? Are the threads a different pitch? The hook bigger or smaller?

I didn't think the US cars had a receptacle for the tow hook in the rear. The spot where mine is located is covered by the big rubber bumper pads on the US and Canadian cars so I just assumed they didn't have them.

That looks almost the same as mine. Here's your source and part number.

Here's a thread covering the bumper tow hook port cover.

Looking for a rear tow hook cover search did not give me much - see pic

And a spare of mine with its packaging showing the part number:
