I thought all RFs had a fabric covered timber piece beneath the screen. All the ones I've owned had.
Reckless,
Curious! A quick search through my photos would suggest that all (most?) fabric saloons with the small radiator and scuttle lamps have a full-depth screen, whilst the later cars with taller radiator and front headlamps do seem to vary; I have found examples with full-depth screens, others with the circa 2" timber as this example, and even one with an intermediate depth with perhaps a 1" timber ... most strange!
An example of the full-depth screen:

and the 'intermediate version:

Looks like there's scope for further research there!
