Re: Jeff Beck TB - real ? OEM ? or Fake ?
What's the purpose of the 3 holes? Is it to retrofit into the 3 screw style mounting?

It's not all bad, though. If you purchase the right threading tool, you can tap'em yourself and finally put those useless, non-threaded holes to good use.
HTH,
No real purpose. It's just a silent testimony of yet another wasted opportunity, if you ask me.

I seem to recall someone from Duncan got on here and commented that the extra holes on the trembucker plate were legacy from an idea they had that was abandoned and they just never changed the baseplate after that. (My uninformed assumption/guess is they may have been looking into pairing a 4-hole ring with it so you could manage tilt better.)

The Duncan TB holes don't line up to the Fender/other 3-hole mounts, FYI.

The 3 holes give the option of pickgaurd / ring mounting or direct mount. The springs usually create enough tension to keep pg or ring mounted pickups stable with just one screw. Direct mount is less likely to tip forward or backward if you use both of the outer holes.
And yes, it looks legit to me as well.

Yes,
3 hole and your tilt problems go away. One side-1screw, the other side-screws.
Here is an easy fix, I did it myself. Take a standard p'up ring screw....hardware store....find a small nut that fits tight. Solder that under one of the extra holes, and you now have a 3 way modded pickup ring.
