his TB is for a let, yes, when he bought the engine, it was just about to be converted to a let, but the owner decided not to, and sold the xe.
Would this all be a lot easier if he were to buy an xe throttle body? is it just the TB that changes, or is the manifold likely to be different too?

yeh thats right on the part that the tb bolts too theres too nipples and one on the right goes on the valve and the left one goes to the fpr
and the left smaller breather goes to the inlet manifold itself and the larger one goes on the top centre of the tb

its because u got a LET TB and on the lets they blank off one of the breather locations (the one in this pic!)

and that on the XE's run to the large output on the rocker cover, so get an XE TB

yes mate you have a let tb mine is the same on my let and you should have a vacuum coming off the left side which would go to the ecu on a let? you will need to change both parts of the tb to a xe one with the out let on the front and no nipple coming off left hand side, and then just go off what the other guys have showed you pritty simple tbh
