Opinions wanted.

Looking for something to take to the range last Friday to play with while my mate was sighting in his Sako .222. So, because the H barrel BSA was fresh in my mind I took it and some '57 MkVII - aussie of course.
Had swapped out the PH5A for a new one so roughly bore sighted it at 100yds and let fly.
This is the first target and the arrowed hole is the first round. Needless to say I left the sight as was. Fired a five round clip and then because things were slow decided to do another five, which would account for the two group pattern. The flyer is just one of those things although likely operator error.

Decide to fire another 10 shot group a bit later. Not too shabby really.

By the time I got to fire a third group a bit of a breeze had sprung up blowing right to left but I didn't bother adjusting the sights.

Now those that are paying attention will recall this post is headed opinion wanted. Those paying real close attention will see the second target has only 9 holes. Now I'm not the worlds greatest shot but if I can get 38 holes in the black and 1 just outside it with 40 shots I'm fairly certain the 40th hole should at least be on the target somewhere.
Can't find another hole anywhere on the target. Here is the target from the rear -

Anyone got an opinion as to which hole, if any might be two rounds ? My current opinion is the 3 hole group in the 10 ring is really 4 holes with 3 in the left arm. Sound reasonable ?
