Looks to me like both sides are duplicates- separate cables come from the drivers side, one to the driveside latch, the other then crosses the engine to the pax side latch.
Pictures are useless, as there is an 'enclosure' formed by the painted metal of the engine compartment and the latch is bolted to this from above (the metal has an opening for the hasp on the hood, but othersie you cannot see it well.
