I have taken a couple of pictures of my sills showing the correct position of the trim. The sills have been repainted in satin black. I did this a couple of years ago as I wanted to check that there was no rust under the original paint. There wasn't, but it took me 6 hours to rub down each side !

Now that's how it should look - even the paint finish looks right - the rear end of the inner DPost should also finish in that way which very often is overlooked by restorers as it disappeared many years ago in flakes of rust.  It still does not show how the front end of the outer sill turns under the front wing edge though - can you not unblot the wing and lift it up a little  The spot welding looks a little random underneath which must prove its original - typical Pressed Steel Fisher of the era  |

I think that looks spot on too but there are so many variations from car to car.

Very very nice and your trims are in exactly the same position as mine  Is the yellow pipe some sort of en-suite facility  |

No, you can't see that pipe.
It is on the end of the overflow pipe from the gearbox. When I lay the car up for the winter I drain the 'box as the torque convertor seal only holds fluid back for about 10 days before flooding the floor ! Sometimes it overflows when I refill it. So the pipe stops it running back on the metal pipe.
