The typical guy tabs form a yoke "around" the tower so the tension is 
not on any one leg as  opposed to tying them off on a tower leg as is 
often seen.

The tower flat top plate appears to distribute the forces between the 
tower legs and I would assume work well for guy attach points.

OTOH like Mark, I chose to put a regular guy mount a few feet below the 
top of the tower and use those holes in the top plate to anchor coax.
