Just a quick comment from me, given you say the chassis number wasnt obvious, it usually is, when its in the normal place. So this got me thinking.
The body brackets etc fitted are very similar to the 1928 chassis I have. That has no number in the usual place. But has a aluminium plate riveted to the nearside of the rear crossmember with it stamped on. The plate declares it is a chassis owned by the Austin motor co etc, so a chassis supplied to an external coachbuilder. In my case Gordon England.
I know some Australian cars were locally bodied, did these also have such a plate on the crossmember, and nothing on the chassis rail?
