The cover plate 'appears' like it would be removable like the pics Riy shared.
Very strange...

I believe the current model is 748, not 787.
Correct. The current ones are called 748s. I assume the name change was due to the confusion of the planes with the same name.
Mine is a 747 with the code XFM (March, 1992). They updated how you take them apart. Instead of taking out the screw and then sliding that little metal piece out of the way you now have to take out the shackle and it will let the spring and a metal slug out. Then you can slide out this keyed metal cover. There is a divot in it that the metal slug in the bottom of the shackle hole sits in and acts like a pin at shear line.
Unfortunately I dont have a key for this one. I could send it your way Gordon

Yup, have to take the shackle out to get the steel plug out of the way to open it up.
