Default Locking carriage/slides on a manual lathe

Awl--

I have a 13x40 Enco, but set up really nice--x,yDRO, snap handle 5C, Aloris,
cam-lock chucks, new bearings, really kept nice by the original owner. You'd
almost think it was American-made.
In fact, the owner did so much work on it, he taped "Made in America" over
the "made in china" tag!
Also, the bed is closer to 50", past the nose!

However, I don't see the traditional lockdown screws on the carriage or
cross-slide. Am I just missing something?
Is it possible that some lathes simply don't have these?
If this is so, what do one do? For the carriage, I could see clamping
blocks on either side of the carriage, down on the ways.
Improvising a lockdown on the crossslide seems more elusive.

Any idears??
