Thank you for all the replies. I noticed the chisel marks on the rear plate so it must be original. Small portions of the original armor plate are left along with the rivets, all around the perimeter; we noticed the plate on the front was thicker. I got a picture of a decal on the front right fender, almost readable. Strangely when my son turns the steering wheel, standing in front, the machine seems to move. There is a layer of snow on her today. Phil
