Is the intention you use both of the lower fixing holes?
That seems very unlikely to me. Reckon it's alternate spacing for some reason.
Being fixed on each side of the rail means there's no force pulling the fixings away from the wall. They only have to cope with the vertical component, so shouldn't need to be as strong as you'd need for shelves etc.

Good point. Looks like the fischer plugs should be suitable so going to try it with them. If it falls down will escalate to finding/installing studs

Well yes, quite.

They bear less weight, but the loading changes frequently, there’s more leverage and folks overload them - which is why they always fuck dry wall if not fixed correctly.

Seems like a weird design. Is the intention you use both of the lower fixing holes?
For dry wall one fixing in the top and one in the bottom would be better. Duoplugs might do the job but I would lean towards a mechanical fixing myself.
