Default Welded backing plates

Some berk has welded the brake backing plate to the steering body, in two places! Great welding.
You may find that berk was a Ford Canada factory welder, or an army one. I'm not sure whether others have found this but a lot of the 4 7/8" front ends I have seen had the backing plates welded just like this. Fortunately my FGT plates have not been welded. Perhaps there is some information in a service bulletin somewhere.
