Not on a LWB, but the door rubbers have small white arrow heads for where the roofbars should be mounted. I've just checked mine and they are 75cm (29.5in) centre to centre.

As snapdragon said, it might cause an issue with accessories, but would have thought any accessory would have adjustments to allow fitting to more than one car. e.g. whether you're fitting your bike carrier to an A1 or an A8.
