[Healeys] Rear bulkhead fittings

Has anyone got a shot of the rear bulkhead (BJ8) from the trunk 
(boot) side, with all the fittings, before the armacord went on?  I 
ask because there are a few little holes whose purpose I haven't yet 
discovered. There are the brackets for the tank, fuel pipe grommeted 
hole, battery cable grommeted holes, wiring, spare tire anchor, holes 
for filler cover attachment...but I  also see a captive nut on each 
side below the strap bracket nuts, and a hole just below where the 
wiring harness comes through...
I've looked at a lot of restoration photos, and those two captive 
nuts never seem to have anything in them. Are they vestigal? 
(Evidence that BJ8's evolved from BN1's?!)

Thanks,
Stephen, BJ8
