MG TD TF 1500 - Early Two Bow Top

Anyone know the meaning of these marks. The LH/RH presumably mean the side of the car to which they are attached.

Also, does anyone have a picture of these attached to the vehicle?

My guess would be marks made by a previous restorer to locate the pads after restoring the interior panels or underlying woodwork.

Thanks Lew....
Don’t believe that the car had been restored to any significant extent before it came to me.

Bill,
Just checked my TF (Feb 1955 ) hood bow & it has the identical stampings.
Cheers John

Interesting that the TD and TF have the same stampings. I would have expected something different between 2 and 3 bow tops too.

Someone that has both TDs and TFs should weigh in if these parts are the same between cars.

If so it's probably just a casting number from the factory.

I will have to check on my two bow. I wonder if these are made with this marking from the factory so the assembler knows which part to weld where.
