Hi David
Rinsed Mills book shows a 1926 saloon which is claimed to be original in “almost every detail” and that has a rear hoop for the plate and lights (2 fitted but originally that would have been one).
Have you checked whether there are mountings for the hoop? On my 1930 RK there are two top hat sections with the flanges riveted to the floor pan. The hoop slides in the section and has two bolts to secure. There may be some vestige of these mounting brackets if only holes for the rivets (unless the floor pan has been repaired in this area?)
Cheers
Howard
