Frank,

The seat rails themselves were plated with what looks like cadmium.
These, in turn and were bolted to a raised painted steel platform/nut
holder welded to the floor panels, and also black. A good deal of the
floor panel is covered with an asphalt based sound deadener, elsewhere.

There is an vinyl edge piece enhancing the rear dropped ledge where the
seats reside, but it is not deep.

This are my observations on a Mk I. Other models may have been
different, but I doubt it.
