Workbench Top attachment

Recently a local  gentleman gave away a workbench. That included the vise. The workbench underneath was not suitable for my shop so I dispose of it. I have attached the cise to my table and set the top on it. But my question is what is an appropriate method for attaching the top to my current workbench. I thinking just some screws from the bar inside would be enough.

The bench it’s on wasn’t designed to be true but merely functional. I’m attaching the top and truing it up next. This process gives me a good hands-on feel for the function of each plane. the top is probably 60 years old and doesn’t look like it has been treated this way since it was new. (I’ve a lot more work to do to get it right. The dog holes were filled with all sorts of stuff including hardware.
