You have got it in your first pic mate!!! With the car on a level you need to fill the box so that the oil is just about to overflow the filler plug.

The plug you have pointed out is the level plug. Probably going to be very tight so use a decent allen key and if needed a piece of pipe as an
extension. Make sure you use the correct oil

This method has never worked for me because, when i fit my engine & gearbox I drop all of the oil because of the angle it has to go in at (mine
wont fit from below) so I have modified my top cover to have a fill hole, nice & easy 
Cheers,

How do you check you have the correct oil level then?? I always filled mine in the car through the filler plug shown. Access is pretty tight in the
transmission tunnel but not so hard as to make the job impossible
