There are 4 possible holes for bolts, but only two in the center could be used for wingnuts. Or it was not a wingnut but a wingbolt they used?

This hood is all original. Those bent straps hook onto the rear of the opening and two bolts hold the front down. You can see the only holes on the rear of the opening hold down the rubber weatherstripping. The two holes on the front that are an inch or so from the edges are where the bolts go. The parts book says:
Screw, hood centre panel thumb (first jobs) (5801405)

So if hood was secured in these points it couldn’t be wingnuts because there are holders for square nuts underneath, so only bolt can go there.

Bingo
Thanks David
so the "Thumb screw" would be some kind of wing nut screw....... a short piece of threaded rod welded to a thumb screw. Jacek you have the right square nuts identified. If you have trouble finding thumbscrew in British/North American thread size let me know. Cheers

I have another hood with the thumb screws but I'm not sure where it is. The screw heads are about 5/8" or 3/4" diameter and are knurled. They have some way to keep them from coming out of the hood piece too.
The picture looks pretty close to the original.

After posting the last picture I came across this factory photo. Now we know for sure. The bolt head has a blade sticking up.
