Having had a look under the bonnet and taken the access panels off in the scuttle/wiper area I think it's just a legacy of earlier owners.
There are (were  ) little lumps of debris, including those seeds, absolutely everywhere so there's probably a fair number inside the HVAC system as well.
I might look at putting some finer mesh on the grille over the main air intake in case the filters are somehow being bypassed.
I'll clear out the drivers side drain at some future date; I need to go in there soon anyway to finish off my various RNS add-ons.
