Here is mine:

The bungee is maintained by 3 hooks screwed on each cabinet + 3 or 4 above the rear hatch.
Here is what a hook looks like:

Bringing this subject back up.... looking to make a net for my bus... I can figure out the width... but I need to know the deepth? Also looking for the mm size of the brown bugee part... I think its around 4mm. I know the net size is 3mm. Also, how far apart are the knots in the netting?

there are 3 hooks on each cabinet that holds the cargo net;

does anyone know how many of the small hooks are used over top of the rear hatch to hold the back edge of the net?

Just by looking at the picture posted, I would say two. Looks like two of the "loops' are attached to the hooks.

Thanks for your help... I talked to tou at Bulli about the net in your bus and getting some measurements... also if you can .. there is a pattern of the way it is weaved and looped.. That pattern would help... Your bus was an amazing find... Congrats..
