Sorry don't have pic of trunk strapped in but do have pic that shows the locations of the lugs though which the hold-down straps are threaded. There are 2 lugs at the at the top near the "back" of the boot (as you look in farthest from you so the "front" of the boot in relation to the front of the car) and 2 lugs near the floor of the lower boot near the spare wheel. Probably if you have the fitted trunk within a closed boot you do not need to strap it in except when driving with the the boot open. My pic shows how I hold stuff in place when the bootlid is dropped to extend the load.

For strapping down tight I used to use yellow and blue IKEA straps but they have gone AWOL. But, like the bungees in the picture, they are not of the right period in style.

Period straps would probably look similar to those in the picture below (1 on left threaded thru' loop and one on right coiled up)
