yu called?

No you cant pop rivet them in - or more precisely the OS one is within 8 inches (is it 8?) of the brake servo and is therefore considered structural by MOT peeps.
yu mite get away with the NS one, but if yu gorra weld one, you might as well do the job proper and weld both.
You can get complete Inner wing sections (now :hurt from YRM for £60 notes each.

be forewarned - if the inner wings are shot, then it appears quite likely that the footwells wont be far behind.
Have yu taken the carpets up and checked?

 

[GAZ68]

Cheers for that mate have checked footwells and rear floor (the usual places ) they seem fine a bit of rust but not rotten !!
