My 69 Barracuda from Elsies River but now resident in England has (front) shoulder seat belts attached at the top end by bolts just behind the interior lamps on either side behind the rear seat. Would these have been the standard American fitting or were they installed according to South African regulations of the time to replace American lap belts?
There are no rear seat belts.
Basically, what I'm asking is, did cars made in South Africa in 1969 have to have shoulder belts, or even seat belts at all?

Re: front seat belts
As far as I know only lap belts would have been fitted.

Re: front seat belts
We only had the smash your forehead against the steering wheel lap belts. But all A bodies have the mounting points to mount the shoulder belts hidden behind the headliner. I marked mine to possibly do shoulder belts one day
