Those catches were standard across a lot of BL cars way back.

When Steve Simmonds does a hood conversion, he fits two over centre catches inside the cockpit on the rear rail. Although it's easy enough to drill the body frame along the rear edge and fit that part of the catch, the section inside the hood material is fragile and a few early cars had the frame snap, so drilling into the frame needs both care and hope.
