I believe
they are factory, but only installed on some cars (perhaps only
those
originally fitted with rubber mats).  TS39781LO had em, TS13571L
didn't (and
had carpet snaps in the same general area).

I _think_ the part number is
561162 (even though that number doesn't appear
in the TR3 SPC), and TRF has
them on sale for $3.51 each.

Don't have a good photo handy, but you can see
part of one above the clutch
pedal in this shot:
