Those straps holding the numberplate were originally attached with the petrol tank by two brackets each with a pair of rivets direct to the floor. Unless your car has been modified with some sort of strengthened brackets (preferably extensions connected to the rear of the chassis) then I wouldn't put any extra weight on the assembly at all, not even an empty luggage rack! The rear floor is too flimsy to carry any more than the petrol tank, especially if rusted.
