rover pickup spare tire placement

Mine has all 3 mounts as well. (not real sure why, but I just figured it was a "Rover thing" )

I'm sure it was. Think about how Rovers were/are used. You might decide the bonnet mount is annoying so you mount it on the back door. Summer comes and you decide to remove to the top so you mount the tire in the load space. A bit later you have bunch of cargo to haul somewhere and you need all of the load space, so you put it on the bonnet.

Versatility was the name of the game for Rovers. I think they may have even used something to that effect in their marketing.

This is true! With Whitworth, Metric AND inch fasteners on the same vehicle, you get to use your entire tool collection on them as well!

It is not a coincidence that I have an entire drawer of my tool box dedicated to hammers...
