Don't know about Pressed Steel, more likely Abingdon as they removed the 
bonnets on fully painted cars to work on the engine compartment.  But the 
likelihood of them still lining up (i.e. no wing or bonnet changes or 
adjustments since then) are pretty slim in most cases.  Mine didn't line up, 
and I didn't bother drilling more holes.  If you nip the bolts up just the 
right amount you should end up with enough 'slip' to pull and push the 
bonnet into alignment, but enough grip to allow you to lift the bonnet 
carefully when correctly aligned and tighten them fully.
