Mine does not have any cuts through the division plate. Just the hole at the bottom behind the ammo boxes for the Ronson tube. It must have been done for some Canadian civilian activity, along with all the other cuts and removal of the radiator ducting. My expansion tank sits on the lower rear of the division plate, under the left side crew seat.
Thinking about my hull number question, I guess it would have been the lower hull number at the rear that would have been used as the main hull number. The upper hull added later? Ron
