Rear tub fixing

Hello there I am just about to paint my rear tub with rapture paint.
Mine had a sheet of armoured ply in the bottom and it was pop riveted in and I've drilled out all the rivets and took out the ply and 6 bolts literally fell out. See picture.

Are these the actual fixings that hold the tub to the chassis or how is it fixed?

130 tub is fitted to rear crossmember via a bracket then uses bolts up from bottom into captive nuts that sit in a sleeved section that runs parallel to crossmember that is attached to the bottom of tub.

Front of tub fits via bolts to cross pieces in front of rear wheels. Cheers
