There were scalloped cut outside top tight and left on the apron. Photos and a feel up and around indicate no filler. Typically there is a worm or booger on a filled hole? Rivets on the commission plate didnt look right. Could be a late TR2 with an early
TR3 plate?<span id="ms-outlook-android-cursor"></span><br>

<div>The TR3 apron would have extra openings at the top inside of the opening for the grill for extra cooling to the engine compartment, where on the TR2 the opening was completely enclosed all the way to the egg crate grill. TR3s should have holes for the
forward mounting grill. I think that some later TR2 aprons may have had trim partly, I think 3/4 surrounding the grill opening. You may find evidence of these trim fitting holes filled. </div>
