Unsure about the manuals, but for your other questions.

In the boot, on both sides there should be two bits of masonite or fibro which blocks off the lower quarters behind the rear wheel wells. From factory they had a rubber mat which fitted over everything including the spare wheel well (which also had a cover plate on it if it doesn't already). You can get repro rubber mats from GT Perf. or ebay. They cost a bit more than carpets and I haven't used one yet (or a carpet yet for that matter, so I'd be curious as well) so I can't vouch for how well they fit.

These are some repro side panels (just to give you an idea on what they were like).

and these are what they were fastened down with (pretty rough, but thats the way it was).

And this is the boot mat offered by GT Ford Perf.

There was also a very thin panel (thin enough to be classed as cardboard in my opinion, although it was something else..) that sat behind the rear seat which had a bit of fibreglass sound proofing on it but otherwise, there was nothing else to block off the 'inner boot' area behind the rear seat.

Just did a quick search.. GT Perf also sells the panel behind the seat. They call it a rear seat insulator panel:

Hope it helps.

Hi Phil and congrats on the car
The boot is fairly sparse but should have the following

There are two Masonite panels located both on the left and right hand sides just behind the wheel well

The spare wheel should be held in place with a large steel disk and secured with a knob that has a long pin on it which screws into a raised panel located in the center of the spare
There is an insulating panel which is installed by removing the back seat
This hides the seat springs and also is a sound insulator
The boot lock located inside the rear panel should have a plastic cover on it
The boot would have come from the factory with a rubber mat
These are expensive around $250.00 from memory So a carpet one is a cheap and good alternative

There are no coveres for the tail light housings or wiring looms

There should be a small rubber tube with a slit on one side which slides onto one of the boot tension springs where they cross. This stops them from rattling when you are driving the car

Finally there is a jack operation instruction sticker that is located in the right hand side of the boot lid

The jack should also be in a vinyl bag

All of the above is available from places like gt ford performance and other repo parts sellers

I think this pretty much covers it

Hope this helps
Many thanks
Tony R
