3.0.2 Engine front mounting plate
The engine front mounting plate was changed sometime in early 1943* with the addition of a reinforcing plate on the generator side. This reinforcement was attached with three rivets near the timing chain cover.
*“Ordinance Dept. report” described in AAW VII states that change was made 1/16/43.

Looking at several Front Plates, I think the CORRECT number of rivets for the reinforced LATE-style is FOUR, not the THREE as shown above.
