Scoots:

The dusting brush fits onto the little clip you should find at the end of the white plastic carry handle - close to the blower door. However, not every version of the 1205 has the dusting brush clip. That is the only tool that attaches to any 1205.

I'm emailing you a copy of one of the 1205 manuals (there are at least four versions) I grabbed from the Internet some years back. It's not the greatest scan, but it will help you for right now. It's going to the email address in your profile.

Forgot to Say:

The reason your tools are so pristine is probably that the machine belonged to someone who had previously owned an upright. Many such owners just used power-nozzle canisters like they were an upright - they didn't use them for above-the-floor cleaning, because they weren't used to having a vacuum that made above-the-floor cleaning easy, or even possible.

The discoloration on the plastic at the rear is likely a bit of dust leakage. It should clean off with 409 or a similar cleaner. It's nothing to worry about - the machine is forty years old and cannot be expected never to have let a dust particle slip through.
