50/50.  The factory hitches for the Type 44 and Type 85 are one-piece - a
long neck comes out under the rear valance and the ball is non-detachable.
They also redefined the wiring of the plug a while back to add a permanent
DC supply so most cars have two plugs.

After-market hitches tend to be detachable.
