Darn! You got me… I was a bit over-enthusiastic in my statement „not a single BSF“. Yes the thin turret nuts are definitely BSF. I had these nuts glass-blasted and zink plated, so these were not on my list. Sorry for that..

I know for sure that the "thin turret nuts" that secure the upper wishbones to the crossmember were bought from Bristol and they were 1/2" BSF.
I was given the impression by Bristol at the time that many suspension parts carried through from the 407, 408 & 409 to the 410 and 411 (and probably the 412). Certainly many of the parts I bought from Bristol for my 411 had 407-409 part numbers.
Is it possible your car had already had restoration work done and someone had already replaced most the BSF nuts and bolts with UNF?
