Early Browning Import FAL
Did the original Browning import FALs, I believe in the late 50s early 60s, have a long slotted flashider with two small rows of holes behind the slots?

Just the standard long "Browning" FH, no holes other than the slots themselves.. Some of the contemporary Rogak 50.64 paras had the standard combo device, I'd venture that some of the 50.00s may have had them as well.

You must be referring to the one I saw on Gunbroker.
As JArm said, these would have a long/T48 flash hider. They do not have holes behind the slots.
