Isn't the carpet planks meant to sit on top of that metal bar spanning across the rear?

Well, it would make sense as it's extra support for when weighted items are placed back there.
Also, looks less tidy as you can see an exposed piece of "bracing"....

Got some better photos of the finished clean today
Still some stains and whatnot. will hit those with a rug doctor, and i've heard steam cleaning removes most of the cigarette smell? might give that a go.
Next: pedals, slushbox stick, and the in cab air filter. may as well

Don't think there is a in cab filter.
EDIT: Just flipped through the workshop manual and there is no mention of it.
