Almost a whole year later I can confirm that I've never heard of knappers either.
Not in the South, or London (as a specific region) or the East Midlands. And not even from my previously extensive Irish network.

Knackers, yes.
Nappers, possibly, but only in the form of to take a nap which I know crosses the pond.

Re sixes and sevens; there's a line in (Evita) Don't Cry For Me Argentina:
"All you can see is the girl you once knew/ although she's dressed up to the nines/ at sixes and sevens with you"
