Hi. These are not rivets but tear-off nuts, then ground into a cone.

Mine is actually made from two pieces of 1/8" steel plate spot welded together. The spots are visible in the photo. I am hoping mine is original and not a later fabrication. If it is, at least it was well done and looks like another one I have seen.
Even rivetted to the chassis as per original- nice. Mine should be too but obviously the brackets were donors from another vehicle hence bolted on.
Cheers,
