They appear to be 8 inch by 4 inch plate metal (same thickness as the frame) that has been bent 90 degrees forming an even "L" shape. As seen in the photo, the end of the frame side bracket has been cut on an angle leaving approx one inch bottom of the bracket. Three holes are drilled on the frame mounting end which held rivets, and four holes drilled in the bumper end to match the "D" rings. I am not sure if the weld was a post war mod or not.
Your description is excellent. The chassis in my back garden doesn't have the weld though, so I presume yours has been welded when one of the rivits failed (?)
