Still, its interesting, seems reading all, if the tonneau was optional (hooks installed or not), it wouldnt have been flat and had clips?

Yes that is right, flat tonneau with clips was never a Holden option. It would have been either rope and hooks or none at all.

Yep! Great discussion.

It gives a few options on the tonneau then I reckon, (for any owner with an after market clip on tonneau I spose) if there are no original hook holes evident, probably was factory without, if its H series with clips its aftermarket (although perhaps useful), and I dunno but if the clips aren't letting water in or causing rusting to the body I spose its a pretty easy later modification to bring it back to original at any time. Thoughts?
