Same with my old one. I think the old external ones were replaced with internal strengthening instead

Yeah perhaps I should have been more clear, what I meant was mine didn't have external ribs. I think there was internal ones under the roof lining.

The roof was changed from external ribs to internal ribs on the 1989 Model Year - so, from late 1988 onwards.
My 'G' Reg. 110 Hardtop, which I bought new in October 1989, has an internally ribbed roof.
They changed back to small external ribs, at some point during TD5 production.

I reckon my truck cab is off a TD5, I'm sure that's what the guy at the garage said, and I've got external ribs but they're not overly prominent

That sounds about right, mine was a late "F" reg (just before the G came out) and had the smooth roof. I remember reading before I took delivery of mine that they were changing.
