Ivor,
We're getting into "rivet counting" here, but originally there were three screws along the top edge and 4 along the bottom. You have an extra hole just under the wheel of the motif.
Taking most of any load are the 1/4" hex head bolts fastening the two end flanges of each running board directly to both the rear wing and the flange of the front wing (two at each end, 8 in all).
As you say, it's a pretty sturdy job, but you wouldn't want chaps weighing 16 stone regularly standing on them!
