Not sure the bar is complete: depends where it is cut. I gather only the lower half of the bar got in the way.
You'll also note that the production vehicle has the winch mounted more towards the centre, hence the long winding arm with a bearing mount.
The image of the one sold at auction has a very stout looking winding axle/arm: much thicker then the ones shown on the period images. Is it genuine or a later addition?
