Here's a couple of views of the screws and the bit where you can see the
difference:

Basically they are like philips with the + but then there is another four
smaller cross hatches like a x, eight in total. I think the angles are
different as well for the taper of the bit. On the second photo above, you
can see the smaller x ribs on the bit in between the main + ones.
It's possible the early cars used philips. To see what a posi screw looks
like, look at the 4 screws which hold the carb cover on an original ZS carb.
Those are posi for sure. Unless someone changed 'em of course.
