I suspect they make all the bonnets the same, regardless of the type of catch/fastener on the order, then just pop-rivet in a washer if the Dzus fastener is not to be used. Seems like they could have a process to not punch the holes if not needed, or at least paint the rivets, but apparently not.


I would guess that as the body is outsourced and manufactured produced prior to it being assigned to a build spec, the holes for the dzus fixings will always be put in. Yes they could touch them in, but I can't say that it bothers me on mine.
