TR3 hood rivets

[pwiegman@ix.netcom.com (Paul Wiegman)]

My 1957 TR3  [Comm # 14551L], has two brass rivets on the left and 
right side on the hood back toward the windscreen.  What's the reason 
for these, and are they correct for this car.  I've seen 2's, 3's, and 
3A's and a very few have these rivets.  

Should they be painted, or left in the natural brass ?
