Campagnolo Cable kit on 1990 De Rosa

I splurged on getting the complete kit for my De Rosa build. It is 10V build with Record parts. Since nearly every component is Campy, it should have Campy cables and housings!
The issue I ran into is the RD cable at the braze on. The kit gave me this

The lower part is suppose to provide protection from dirt entering the housing and is located on the cable side of the braze on. That is easy to understand. What isn't is the bellows are attached to the chrome terminal. The pig tail is ....What? The cable housing does not have a "pocket" for it to reside.
To make things even more complicated, the braze on is a straight through hole without a step.

How does this all fit together?
