The plate on the Chevrolet that Keith has shared with us is clearly an 'add on' as it is attached with 'U' bolts the same as the supporting rails of a typical rear body application would be.

The plate on both the Chevs in Keith's pic and the Egyptian desert have the plate rivetted onto the chassis rail and are integral to the chassis. The "U" bolts you can see in Keith's pic don't hold the plate in place, they ARE the "U" bolts holding the body on. The upper beam with the small scalloped cutouts is the timber subframe of the body.
