Default 1971 GTO spare tire location in trunk

Have had several '71 GTOs but this one is the only one that came with the 14x7 honeycomb wheels from the factory. I see there is an additional location for the spare tire hold down rod situated in the forward section of the center of the trunk and I am uncertain if that is a provision for the spare tire that may be on a honeycomb wheel to be mounted to or something else? I am guessing that since the polycast wheel might suffer damage if laid upside down on the jack assembly that maybe the two were separated and the jack went in the usual location on the right side of the trunk floor and the spare in the center forward position. This is assuming that if the car came with honeycomb wheels that the spare would also be a honeycomb wheel. Anyone else seen or have a car with honeycomb wheels and an extra tie down location in the truck. Also, the tie down in the center of the trunk is attached with 4 screws. thanks for any insight on this!
