Maynard,

Yes, I removed the carpet.  It is loose in my westy.

I think I've figured it  out.  To put it simply, two of the holes (per
track) are for the floor track/floor connection, and two are for the
seat track which bolts through the floor track and into the floor with
the welded nuts.

Anything wrong with this?  Maybe someone with a factory installed floor
track and seat can look and see.

Here's my diagram:


             _____bolted seat track (2) front and (2) rear
        ______ | _______seat track
       ( __    |     __ )
        \_ \__ | ___/ _/   floor track
 _____________ | ___________floor
            |__|__|         welded nut
               |

       ________________seat track
      ( __   _____   __ )         bolted floor track (2) front (3)rear
       \_ \___ | ___/ _/   floor track
 _____________ | ___________floor
            |__|__|         welded nut
               |
