Harness for side mounted seats
Not seen this before:

Actually surprised there's strength in the side wall, unless there's more to this then I can see?

In one of the wider angle shots it would appear there's no seat padding on the bottom of the seat, so I dont think there would be many takers to travel to far in the back, and even then they'll be pleading with the driver to slow down for the sake of their spines.

Also, interesting enscription on the top of the cubby box lid Whistle

Nice looking truck though 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone

Highly dubious, I'd say. Firstly there is very little strength where those are mounted, and secondly the orientation of the eye-bolt guarantees a side loading on the eye in a frontal impact (its weakest direction). Then there's the snag that the eye-bolts will fracture your skull in the blink of an eye. It is also not clear if those are two shoulder-straps for the same seat, or one strap each for two seats, but either way they will be highly uncomfortable in a frontal impact. They may save the driver I suppose, even if it kills the rear passenger (so possibly better than nothing).
