I did not have an 8mm socket wrench with me when I visited my 7596A so
I wasn't able to entirely remove the cover.  I did slip the camera in
under the lower edge and did extract U28 and U37 from mine for
dumping...

These were empty on my plotter, best I could tell.

I found these in those sockets:

07595-18095  U28
07595-18096  U37

These sockets are definitely empty on my plotter.

This list doesn't support attachments, so most of us didn't get them.

I'm happy to send along my copies of 07595-18095 / 07595-18096 when I
get them read out.
