Hi Andrew,
Mk2s are more my area but I'll attempt to answer and maybe once it's at the top of the list again someone more knowledgeable can add to it.
Yes the instrument panel is held in with round head screws. (see pic of a Mk2). Nuts on the back? yes, although on some I have seen a steel frame on the back into which are tapped holes.
I believe Mk1 dashboards are part of the bodyshell, (sprayed either body colour or black?) Some deluxe saloons had a cover panel which was printed with a wood finish the same as Mk2s. This cover panel is held on to the fixed dash panel with 2 roundhead screws at each end.
Peter.
