Hi Mike,

Both plates came off Australian assembled vehicles. Both seem to have never been touched before I removed them. Still, 75 years of paint, mud, and gunk can hide a lot of things.

The other question to ask is what is the purpose of the hole/pressing on the two plates?

From the photo it appears the only reason is to clear the front running board support adaptor bolt. The pressed one actually touches the adaptor at the pressing so was it a secondary reason to perhaps stop the splash plate from vibrating? I guess only the original designers know.

Cheers,
