BT7 Rear Shroud

Hi all
Would anyone have a clear picture of the lower rear shroud area that they could post for me?
The area where the license plate attaches without the bumper attached?
I am restoring a 1960 BT-7 and am at the stage of doing body repair.
My rear shroud in the mentioned area has two holes for the license plate bracket.
one hole for the license plate lamp wiring.
Then a second hole the same size as the wiring hole lower down.
Doesn't look right to me.
So I need something to reference.
Thanks
 
It's handy when the parts are off and 'in process' making them easy to photograph.
This is from my 1960 BT7 and, although a bit wrinkled, no sign of alterations.
Just to clarify:
The license plate mtg. holes are 1/4", and are 2 1/4" center to center.
The wire harness hole is 9/16" and it's centerline is 2 1/2" above the centerline of the license plate mtg. holes

Thanks for the photo.
Same year as mine, same configuration of holes except mine has an extra hole below the two license plate bracket holes
After looking at it further and working with it some I have come to the conclusion that the bracket on mine was attached to the car with three fasteners in a triangle.. It was dented in the mounting area so after working the dents out I could see what I believe the set up was.
