Superoo decals ARE listed in the Capri parts manual as part numbers XW 16554 B (RH) and XW 16555 B (LH) and judging by the illustration included in the manual, were only available for the 1970 on GT/V6 models. As for the bonnet pins, they appear not to be in the parts manual, but were the standard Ford items as used on the XW (as pins) and the XY (as the push down type). My understanding is that all these accessories were used as standard equipment by Ford to help raise the local content of the cars and to thus help reduce import costs. At best, I understand that the final Capri's were around 40% local content and that's one of the major reasons for Ford dropping the Capri in favour of the already successful Mk.1 Escorts and the very successful TC (onwards) or Mk.3 Cortina's!
