TMI, sorry
My first car was a 1954 Austin Somerset which had a similar arrangement. Lift the front carpet, remove a large rubber grommet then poke the jack through the hole and insert into the chassis cross member.
That car taught me a lot - Every 3000 miles, change the oil and the cylinder head gasket!
It was fun though. Column gear change, umbrella hand brake under the dash and no seat belts, which meant you could get 3 people in the front, and another 3 in the back!
