Default Spare Wheel Lock

Hello. I have just got a Defender OCTA and I’m wondering if anybody knows where the keys spare wheel lock are located? I have had a look underneath the back floor and the glove box to no avail, and I can’t think of anywhere else they’d be.
I hope this isn’t a case of “haha the dealer forgot to put them in, you can’t get any now because of the IT shutdown” ~ but I get the sense it will be.

Disregard, I’ve got it now. Not going to admit where it was though

My guess is one of the deep holes in the styrofoam tray under the back floor.

Don’t lose it! On the other defenders there is a letter stamped in the lock nut so you can get another from the dealer. Not so with the OCTA. Maybe true of all ‘25’s onward.

I’m talking about this here, not the standard locking wheel nuts:

Everything needed to get it off (keys, adaptor and Allen key) were originally in the glove box but were taken out and put inside the house and I wasn’t told.

Other way round. It’s my dads car - but he doesn’t use forums!

Speaking of spare. Is there a specific torque setting for the lug nuts to attach the spare to the spare carrier?
