Speednuts and most likely the round style although some rectangle types have been found. Book calls for a total of 6 so probably 3 on each script. There should also be a thin rubber washer used as a water and dust seal under the nut next to the trunk metal.
Be very gentle in removing the speednuts and try to relieve the bite of the tangs on the stud before trying to remove it or there is a good chance the stud will break off the potmetal. I have found that using the 90 degree pointed end of a scribe usually works to get under one of the tangs and lifting it up slightly is enough to free the nut from the stud. Unless the speednut is badly rusted the tang can be bent back down for reuse.
