Haynes is correct although I can't see from Clausager when the change
occured. He shows a picture of a 1969 USA triple-wiper car with the
bright arms held on by screws, a 1978 RHD with clip-on arms, and a 1980
RHD with screw-on. Check the spindles, if they have tapped holes they
probably are supposed to have screw-on arms and maybe don't have the
machining required to keep a clip-on on, if you see what I mean.
