I heard that the very last cars used up an assortment of remaining parts,not necessarily the ones specified. |

Have you considered the actual petrol cap might not be the original item, plenty of pattern stuff out there on the internet

No it was definitely supplied when the car was new.Others on this thread say they have a strap fitted too. I posted a pic last week of a used cap on eBay with the strap attached but I've deleted it now.

Is it not the same push in fixing even though a different position on the cap? |

Yup, when mine arrived it didn't fit properly, kept slipping out of the hole in the cap - the hole (which on mine is in the edge of the finger grip 'leg', not in the cap centre) is too big. Not done it yet but a simple solution would be to drill a smaller hole in the edge of the other 'leg'.
