The Moss catalog shows the 'hairpin' style clips for BT7s up to car# 17351, and
P-style clips thereafter.
I got the hairpin style clips for our BN2 from Moss, but they weren't correct
(same problem you noted, plus they were
too 'wimpy' for lack of a better term). BCS has better ones, but they ain't
cheap (about $4 each).
I wouldn't be surprised if, when Austin changed to the P-clip, they left the
holes for the hairpin clips.
