I suspect it was changed when it was showmanised and gained lots of brass, it lost the Patent mounted on springs plate then too but I was lucky to get that back from Alan Walker who very generously offered it to me and I refitted it. He had found it in the mud in the yard where they converted it, he was there buying a winch for his low loader. The plate would have been on the motion covers originally I think and they fitted rings and stars etc instead. The brass ring was on it when I bought it.
