Standard equipment on the 160 would have been the "doughnut pusher." However, it could have been "upgraded" per the buyer's request. The bird was standard on the 180. A plain bale ornament was also available, which was probably standard on the 110 and 120, but the bail was available on all series as well.
The base with two holes would have been for the bird. There is a difference in lengths of the base between the 110/120 and the 160/180.

All 1940 hood ornament bases are the same length,as they are attached to the top of the grill shell part #348646 which was used on all series 110 thru 180.....

Thanks, Darrin
I think I've made that mistake before. I must be thinking of the 1938-39 grillshell, which did have different lengths between the senior and junior model eights.

I was also wrong about the base with two holes. Two holes would be the doughnut pusher, three holes would be for the bird.
