You're into "A" level dismantling there. There should be bent over tangs on the front and rear of the bonnet tops, hinge area. Bending these up will allow (!) the hinge pieces (solid Nickel by the way, can be polished up) to slide off the bonnet and the whole hinge falls to pieces.
BEWARE HOWEVER, the tangs may be rusty and thin and will almost certainly be tired and old. If they have been moved before, they will probably break off due to metal fatigue and leave you with no way to secure the bonnet hinge. Welding them is difficult and annealing them is also problematic. Hence all the cars with bonnets that move about and go out of shape instantly.
