That might be as the Bentley shows two wires that come off the  start that match the colors but on have a number (50) and the (+) on them and  they terminate shortly after the starter picture. Also looks like the original  bend on the bundle would have routed it around over to the drivers site where it might have gone over to the mount where that diagnostic connector used to be. I sure hate it when people butcher wiring harnesses. 
 
 
If you look in the Bentley wiring diagrams, you'll see orange circles (in the color version). Those are part of the diagnostic system VW used in the early 70's. These are now redundant, as that set up has long been replaced with other forms of testing equipment. What most PO's do, is remove that plug,  and it's wiring to clean up the engine bay. You might say it's hacked, but had  the PO removed those last couple of wires, you would have never known it had  existed. :O And it's only now, (a few years later) that you're in there  digging that you found the remains of it. 
 
That system was started in mid 71, and continued until the end of production, but also stayed with the beetle until it's end of production (my  old 76 bug had one of those plugs too).
