I know what over sills are and why they're a bad idea, but I've had a look at a pile of pics online and am struggling to see anything that makes them obvious.
What makes them obvious when you're looking at a car for real?

They weld round onto the floor and have no vents in them.

Once you have seen an oversill, you will always be able to spot them a mile off!

Biggest giveaway is those horizontal pressings between the pressings that cover the vents, i've always presumed they were intended to clear a seam weld or similar, but a proper sill will never have these, so keep an eye out for those and you cant go far wrong.
