After welding it looked like this. I held one of the radiators up to it to see how things would look, well holy.... , it wasn't even close. It seems the PO had two radiators, one with a slightly dented top tank and correct side mountings on the radiator, the other with a better looking top tank and completely incorrect side mounts (hole spacing wrong and parallel to the front face rather than angled). Well of course I had to look at the incorrect one first and scare myself that the afternoon's work had been for nothing. Much less worried once I looked at the other radiator. Thankfully I haven't had either one tested/rebuilt yet. I think that the incorrect one might be a civilian pattern radiator designed for a vertical grille rather than the CMP slope. There is still some work to be done on the support to straighten out modifications made by the PO and fill a pair of surplus holes. I have to keep some work for later, nothing there that a bit of heat and leverage can't fix.
