I believe you're right Cliff, and I'm pretty sure the engine crossmember is similar too. Perhaps these crossmembers were associated with 4WD conversion, for increased frame rigidity. However I'm not familiar with the commercial chassis range so it's possible they were used more widely. The CMP chassis frame was standardized throughout the range, and as Keith says it shared no commonality with the commercial chassis frame.

Look forward to seeing your LP3A model, a very worthwhile project indeed.
