What am I missing?

What am I missing?
General question here about what was included with a new 2017 SVR. I am trying to make mine complete with all the accessories.
In the boot I only have the wheel lock socket, nothing else. As I understand it there was likely a compressor and tire bottle of tire sealant. Was there any other items? I notice a couple straps up toward the front of the rear compartment, was there something in there?
Also, the manuals, I do not have those. Did the SVR have a different owners manual and/or cover?
Thanks in advance!

Those straps hold the compressor. Beside the compressor and tire sealant you should also have a tow hook and Styrofoam tow hook holder by the battery.
The tire sealant fits in the larger hole in the Styrofoam holder near the battery. The smaller hole in that holder is for the wheel lock. You can purchase an Airman tire sealant to replace the OEM one.
Here is a recent thread that talks about replacement tire sealants.

MY2017 Premium trunk outfit
Here is a photo of the trunk from my 2017 coupe.
The straps in the base of the right hand compartment hold the tire compressor/case and I tucked a bottle of Slime in there. I'm not sure where the shorter black tow ring goes, so I just tuck it under the elastic strap for the compressor.
On the right hand side, to the right of the battery, is a grey tow ring that has a formed spot in the foam padding. It is longer than the odd black one (above).
Towards the front of the car from the battery, is the Unibottle replacement tire sealant that is available from Amazon. It fits perfectly in the factory sealant bottle's space. The F's factory air compressor screws on that bottle and then a hose from the Unibottle goes to the tire. I checked the fitment of the Unibottle system for using on a tire and it all connects. To the immediate right of Unibottle is a formed indent for something, not sure what. (Edit: may be for the wheel lock socket. I took the locks off and put them back in package) . That odd black tow ring doesn't fit in that spot.
The second photo is the outside packaging for the Wheel Locks that came with the car. The set was listed on the window sticker, but when I got the car, the special socket was missing. I did have the documentation to prove that I owned the car, so that I could get a replacement socket (and they may be different from car to car). You can find them using part number C2s17485

The small black tow hook is the rear tow hook (and cannot be used in place of the front tow hook).
It is (was!) only ever meant for use in shipping the car (particularly across the Pond) as a tie-down hook and it is NOT meant to be used to tow the car.
The dealership is supposed to remove it from the car as part of PDI but many don't.
Funny thing is when I got my F-Type back in 2016 it had only that little black (useless) tow hook and it did not have the front tow hook at all, so I swiped the one out of my for sale XFR and it fits perfectly.

Not quite sure from your original post whether you have a set of wheel locks or not. If not, you could get a set or replacement components directly from the manufacturer at mcgard.com - without needing a Jaguar P/N. For obvious reasons, you'll need to establish an account with your identity, vehicle type, and verification of ownership. There are different patterns of lock/key combinations, with an ID stamped on the key. I used this website to get a spare key - handy if get a flat while you're on the road out of state with a trunk full of traveling stuff. Or, you could buy a full set in your choice of colors (chrome, black, or silver) to match your wheels.
Hmmm... good luck trying to find either an umbrella or safety triangle, as JLR made only a limited number, and discontinued both years ago. However, you should be able to get one of the Chinese-made replacement safety triangles kits (P/N T2H57656) online. While the OEM box was green, the replacement one is red and still fits nicely into the nook across the forward end of the load space. The actual triangle is embarrassingly cheesy looking. But hopefully, you'll never need to actually deploy it. FWIW, my take on the umbrella is that during the process of withdrawing it from that nook, you're pretty much guaranteed to get yourself and the contents of the trunk soaked. (What a stupid place to store an umbrella!) Instead, I tend to keep one of those small folding umbrellas (Totes?) in the cockpit if/when needed.
P/N for the front tow eye is C2C37723. It fits several different JLR models, so it should be easy to find one online. Be aware that it is reverse-threaded. I concur with OzXFR that the rear tow eye is an unnecessary accessory. Nor is there a place to stow it as with the front eye. Still, of you think you may want to have one, try looking for P/M SSM70338. The two are NOT interchangeable. And do NOT use the rear eye for towing, as that will damage the vehicle.
Good luck, and enjoy!

Good posts about the two tow/tie down loops. I was confused about them too. As shown above the black one is for the back and will not thread into the front tow hook mounting point. Only used from the factory for shipping the car and should have been removed prior to the car being delivered to the customer.
Here is the front tow hook so you can see how different it is.
cpq100 brings up a point I am not sure about? I "think" all the front tow hooks are the same? But are they? This one is from my 2014 XJR. I did not get the rear black hook but have looked and I do have spot for it to screw into.
On my XJ it's on the LH side and angled down sharply.

I threw it down in the well with the other stuff, but I'll go put it in its proper place now.

Thanks for the great info. I did not realize there was an actual umbrella that came with some of the vehicles, sounds like a good holy Grail type of item to hunt for.
So underneath the well I found a piece of Styrofoam. It looks like it probably went somewhere, but I’m just not sure where. Here’s a photo of that. Anybody know where that goes?
and then just to clarify for myself and anyone else reading this thread in the future, the two straps in the well are used for the compressor and anything else specific?
and then, finally, I see this stretched out strap on the driver side of the boot. Since it’s stretched out, I’m wondering is that where the compressor goes or is the well the correct place?. Sorry for all the questions just have not seen a complete set up before.
Sorry for the bad photos. It’s dark here right now.
And I’m off to find one of those tow hooks as well. Thank you again appreciate all the help.

That piece of Styrofoam is the tow hook holder. It abuts up against the battery on the right side. You can see the tow hook and a bit of the Styrofoam holder in Valerie's picture above in this thread. On my 2018 the strap on the drivers side of the boot is what held the compressor in place when I picked my car up from the dealer.
I don't believe any F-Types came equipped with an umbrella. I believe there may have been some much older models that came with them though.
Here is a better picture of the tow hook in the holder.
