I don't know exact detail but usual bolt-holes were near each end for normal rectangular format, plus on Mk1 and Mk2 Minis the mounting plate was top-hinged so the plate hung down vertically when the boot was open to enable legal driving with luggage resting on the bootlid. Square plate would have to be modified somehow to avoid fouling - what happened to the hinging when the boot was opened normally?? This was clearly a problem because Innocenti produced their own boot format for square Italian plates.
