I can't get to the inside of the guillotine to insert/tighten bolts or

Trouble is, the flanges both point INwards. Once the 'tine is on the
shelf, the L-flanges with the fixing holes are hidden. I can't get at
them.)

Why not just use countersunk machine screws from inside the drawer?

Screwed into what, though? That's the nub of this topic. The design of
the guillotine is such that it is intended to be, optionally,
surface-mounted, with bolts through its L-shaped flanges, nuts being
applied from beneath.

You tape the nuts onto the flange and put the screws through from below.
Gives a flush fit so it doesn't interfere with the drawer.

Of course you can use rivnuts or cage nuts as suggested by others if you
want.

Cage nuts..
