When I jack mine, I use the REAR jack points.
Center the jack on the white plastic plug looking things you see,those are the jack points.
Whatever side I am on, it jacks that whole side up.

Just be careful when lifting one side that because it's a completely flat surface your jack may slip as the angle increases. Years age there were a couple of threads of some very serious damage inflicted by attempting to jack just one corner!!

Can you not jack from the rear to get at both rear tyres same time ?

Yes. There is a point where all chassis bars come to one point and there is an engine mount at this point. That's from memory so I might be wrong.

I think there are some small round plastics discs approx 25mm dia at the jacking points
