My Mangusta currently has racing lap belts. Did the stock Goose have 3 point seatbelts, no seatbelts or lap belts only?

I think the Mangusta was exempted from the seat belt requirement but my car has the welded in bolt receptors on the rocker just behind the door opening and across from that on the tunnel near the floor.
That is how I installed mine.

I would tend to state that belts were not standard (at least) in the early cars, but later cars seem to all have belts. On mine the passenger 3 point belt is very similar to a 70 Benz and the driver's side is a 4 point Britax setup. The fixations appear to have been done factory style and not in an aftermarket hardware fashion.
If you remove the panels behind the seats, you will see the welded nuts for a regulation seat belt bolt.
They will be obvious, and outboard near the pillar.
You would then drill through the leather and cardboard panel to install the shoulder belt into the existing hole.
Most cars had an eye screwed in, and a clip type aircraft harness attached over one shoulder.

The threaded holes for seat belt attachment on ALL cars are 7/16-20
