I think Palnuts are probably what I'd call captive nuts...they are encased in metal but move around a little? Yes there were some of those on the underside.
No, Palnuts are different than captive nuts. Captive nuts are, as you describe, captive. Palnuts are actually nuts made out of stamped steel & are used as a locking device for the nut that actually does the work of clamping the part.
