Not 100% clear what you mean but the catch box on the D post (the C post abuts the B post ie the middle post- the front door side being the B post the rear door side being the C post!) is welded to the rear of the top vertical flat part of the D post which was intact on mine but I have not seen the Wadhams version

The photo is best I have of the lower part from INSIDE the wheel arch before the inner arch D post panel is fitted

Below is other side of car from inside

I assume you mean item 22 - I would say its the face?  Why not ask him direct?
