Phillip:

        The MGB originally had no tonneau snaps on the outside of the doors.
According to Clausager in the Original MGB since the tonneau was only an
option till 69 snaps were not installed on all cars.  So officially no
snaps.

        If you are planning on using a tonneau, then I would suggest a snap
on the forward end of the passenger door only as this reduces flapping at
speed.
