I decided to go and look rather than trust my memory!
This is not an original one but was copied as best as we could from an original years ago. There is a wooden dowel in both pockets and a thin metal one added to the higher one to add weight (I think that was my idea). The cord is tied around the bottom dowel and goes through a hole in the pocket behind the upper dowel. Only the bottom dowel has eyelets fixed to each end. The holes in the fabric are not edge-bound but I suppose that would prevent them fraying. I'm not promising it is absolutely accurate but may get you a bit nearer to an answer.
Incidentally the vertical cord guides should be held at end end with a resin headed pin (similar material to the knob on the front end of the operating cord) not the plated ones we have used. If anyone knows of a source for these I would love to fit some. Also the hidem binding above the blind is not correct, it should be fabric covered ply!
