Default Gearbox oil fill plug

Can anyone help . My 5 speed manual gearbox may need oil . On the nearside there is a large plug that says do not remove . On the offside there is two torx type bolts as in the photo which one or is it simply the top one as in the photo. My haynes manual does not have any photos of this box in it. Thanks folks.

Great link! The article on why they Red Line MT 90 was really great, explains the reason the Jeep lube information is wrong.
