Rear fuse box???

Hi. My 91 face-lift 4.0 coupe seems to be missing the rear fuse box - the one which is supposed to be behind the carpet trim in the boot where the electric aerial is. I wanted to disconnect the fuel pump fuse to crank over the engine to get oil pressure up after a change, so checked various online sources which all directed me to the right side of the boot as described above. All that's there are three small fuses, for lights I think, but no sign of the covered box with rhe 20 amp fuel pump fuse. Is it somewhere else on the early face-lift coupe? Any advice welcomed, including any observations about how stupid I'm being! Tried to include a photo of what's actually there. No idea if it will appear on the post. Thanks.

I think the extended fuse box was on the later cars. The three fuse setup matches the workshop manual for early ones.

Its a case of pulling the fuel pump relay to isolate it I imagine.

Thanks. I think that's up in the cavity above the wheel arch?
