Mine is a 110, so I had both the forward-facing seats and the four side seats. Only the forward-facing ones were attached to the chassis. So it might be different here.

Hi everyone, I have just stripped the back of my defender to bare metal. Now I'm wondering two things: 1. The seat belt attachments had been partly attached to the chassis. Do I need to put the screws back in to maintain the connection between body and chassis or can i just close the wholes...

The photo of the back corner represents its real colour the best. And I'd assume they didn't use too many dark blues for 2005 TD5s, did they? ;-)
