No commercial versions come without and dont have the mounting points. domestic sjs all did originally, check the rear load area for seat h seatbelt mounting holes

The early ones came with a fold up bench seat (aka dog murderer), then they moved to individual cloth seats, then to individual plasticky seats. Lots of them dont seem to have back seats in them any more.

The two VBJA's I've owned (my blue one was one e a commercial van back) that are commercial models have had all the captive nuts in the rear bed for seats and belts ;) pretty sure Helen's SJ was a commercial soft top and that also has them :thumbup:

I stand corrected, what about different mounting styles? my samaurai has wingheaded bolts to secure the rear of the back seats whereas I've seen some with a bracket which the seats clip too

I think there are possibly a few differences in mounting holes between models, think it depends on age . i.e. when they swapped from a single bench seat to two separate seats etc.

But there could be more variants?
