Brendan,
Contact Hornby Customer Support. They were supplying as free of charge replacements for the old style mounting you have, the current NEM pocket equipped mounting. Just say you have bought the Coach R4162, and were disappointed it didn't have the NEM coupling pockets fitted.
The 'unusual extending rod that pushes in and out' us a close coupling mechanism BTW, something that is increasingly being fitted.
