The cast lug has two external "pips" sticking out on each side of the lug. These act as locators. .. Then the machined seat stay top eyes, already shaped pretty much as you see them there, attach sideways onto the lug "pips". Many pre-WW2 bikes and just-post-war bikes had similar seat stay top eye treatment.
