OK, having read all the replies to date and remembering 544s when they were new, I went to my sales literature collection with the following results:

In 1958, the 444 was listed as having front seat belt attachments.
Later in 1958, when the 544 was introduced front and rear attachments were provided. This continued thru the 1963 model year where front and rear seat belt attachments were listed. My fading memory was that all 544s had 3 point seat belts, but that could have been made standard by US distributor.

Anyway the 1964 sales brochure is the first one that lists front seat belts as being provided.
