It's "normal" but it's not "original"! Most working blitzes seem to accumulate various chassis welds over the years, but originally everything was only riveted or bolted. As far as I've been able to discover myself, the entire chassis was completely untouched by a welding rod when it left the factory. Even the factory fitted chassis reinforcement plates (see pics) were only riveted.
