I finally got a solution for the missing Oddie fasteners.

Hi, just read through the "Obscurious Unobtainia Oddie" thread that jb opened in June 2020.

If jb's assumption and my understanding are correct, the part I asked for in the last post is for the locks and the wing studs don't have them. Can someone confirm this?

Please excuse the confusion.

This is one of the original locking type, I only have the one, and no rear fasteners. I'm interested in finding these parts as well.

Yes, you are right. The part you were asking for is the outer part of the lock assembly. In my solution the actual lock has been replaced by the wing style upper part of an Oddie fastener. Thats just a 'hacked' solution using the parts available on my car.

Some more pictures of the original stuff. Including one fastener that looks like a locking one for the rear lid.
