Has anyone worked out what all the spaces are for in boot foam?

The long one across car in centre section takes the Toyota safety kit bag well.

I assume the left hand rearward slot, where CC embossed is for a scissor jack and angled slot in right hand section is for jack handle?

Small rectangle on right for locking wheel key?

Here is mine as it came.

Think you're right. There's an image of how the jack should sit on it's recess there too.
Annoying that they didn't provide an emergency jack. I actually have a space saver that I bought for my previous gen car, kept it assuming it could use it with the new one. But they took the jack out. I assume they can be bought cheap, just haven't bothered looking yet.
 
I bought a spare wheel and tyre kit from sparewheelcity.co.uk with the jack, wheel brace etc.. But frustratingly the jack was too high to fit into the allotted space on the left of the boot without lifting the boot floor above the foam stuff. So I had to clamp the jack down with the spare wheel.

I subsequently got looking at in-wheel subwoofers, which with the jack in place was a no-no. So, I took a punt on a second-hand jack from an Impreza which I thought looked narrower when completely in the down position and fortunately I was right, it fits nicely in the space and doesn't raise the boot floor as the sparewheelcity one did.

And just to round off the story. I've gone off the idea of a spare wheel subwoofer at the moment! Not sure where that one will end up... But I do have a slightly used Scobie jack in my Scobie manufactured car and a shiny backup scissor jack in the garage which will probably never get used! And fingers crossed the one in the car won't too.
