The shoulder belts use the same female belt as the lap, but have a fixed length male belt attached to the roof.

I would suggest the complete absence of shoulder belts as a hit that your original belts were removed from your car.
After looking, I might agree, but I have seen that long plastic set up on a deluxe belted car. ( 06D though, so it could be an exception) The retractor is a much shorter unit, just threw away 6 of them.. ( not black and nobody wanted them)
