Yes, these were the retrofit extensions. They had been very badly retrofitted as well, the holes in the side members drilled in the wrong position and the rivets that have to be removed from the rear crossmember had also removed some of the chassis! Mind you, doing the retrofit with the body still in position as recommended by the service journal............
The retrofit chassis extensions were first mandated for saloons in late 1926 but began to be fitted by the factory to all cars in 1927; my Chummy had the same pattern extensions rivetted to the chassis with a production date of September/October '27.
All now put back to rights!
