Octavia Transformer

I put together the parts to at least breadboard an Octavia circuit. When I got my Transformer from Mouser it has 3 leads on each side. (42tmo22)
All the schematics I've got show Two connections on one side, and three on the other side. (I am assuming that the Primary side has the "P" stamped on it)
Do I simply just leave the middle lead on the (assumed) secondary side unconnected to anything?
It's also a good possiblity that I'm transferring the Transformer symbol on the schematic to the breadboard incorrectly as well.
Thanks for any help,
Travis

Yes, the side marked with "P" is the primary. For an octavia, the center lead on the primary side is not connected, and the center lead of the secondary side is connected to ground.
