Found the rear carpet of my cab was damp, lifted it on both side and found the following. Unfortunately I am clueless to what I am looking at, however know that it cannot be right? Any help would be greatly appreciated as always

Most of the time this is due to the drainage holes in the horseshoe being blocked. They are not really that obvious but are in the bottom corners on each side of the horsehoe compartment where the roof attaches to the body.
Get a long piece of thin metal (coat hanger) and use this to clear the crap from the drainage holes, also repeat this in the driainage holes that are along the inner side of the cills on both sides of the car.
Once your done poking about, use a kettle of boiling water and pour it into the drainage holes in the horseshoe. This should drian out along the holes on the cills. Repeat until the water runs freely.

The holes are well hidden.
The pictures in this thread helped me find them.

I can't see much wrong in your pictures. Those blankinking plates are normal.
