Have you also got pix of those areas?

Indeed.  Here is my 5/71 Series 2 car (and one from another car).
- behind plastic trim vent holes
- below rear quarter windows
- around the front and rear edge of the door openings
- the mounting bracket in the tranny tunnel
- the outer roughly 1/3 of the fwd seat brackets
- all rear seat brackets
- part of rad support directly behind the grille
- grille brackets (all five)

That's very interesting, thank you for the pix!!!

 

A few differences I see between his Series 1 and my Series 2

- the earlier car's hatch prop bracket was blacked out (maybe mine was, too and I just missed it!)
- the earlier car did not have blackout behind the interior plastic vent holes
- the earlier car had the inboard portion of the front seat bracket blacked out, whereas mine and may others I've seen just blackout the outboard portion

These were done by humans who get sloppy, so variations will exist.  But the procedures also evolve as they learned more with each car.  These differences are what make automotive archeology so much fun!
