Near hand brake, centre fixing.
I can't see a boss or locator bracket welded to the floor pan or the centre tunnel, I've Googled it and looked a micro fishe and it appears there should be a bracket front the belts behind the seat rear leg?
If that is the case does anyone have an image of it so I can look at getting a couple made?

On the early 1 point shoulder they are mounted to the side frame of the seat, and latch to the bracket attached to the door.
On the latter as in my 90's cabbies, the receiver is mounted to the left or right rear leg bracket. Where as the retractor is on the "B" pillar lower.
Only picture I have of the mounted Seat belt receiver.

It is usually the same for the one-point but there is also a steel bracket.

It's a 83 four door, and they're 3 mounting points.

I think I'll have a bracket welded to mine anyway as long as the MOT tester says it's okay!

If yours had passed the MOT then I'm sure it's fine, if worried fix the seat belt in place and give it a good tug.
