Not even close.
Generally if you look close enough at the earliest print of an item or EIs, it will give direction on how the Engineers wanted it done. Ironically, it often is not on the Assembly Drawing itself, but on one of the part drawings where it will list the fastener by part number and often show on the drawing how the fastener was installed. Other times, it will show in the image on the Assembly Drawing.
For those who feel like it was whatever looked best, remember that Ford left nothing to be guessed at by his worker(s). There was a protocol on every process or procedure down to the way .
