I after much googling and parts manual scrutiny, realized that the at times referred to "picture frame" is actually behind the radiator and is very robust and makes sense. I been at this as a hobbyist for almost 50 years ('66 Guilia Sprint Gt), never got into the Etype deep enough from underneath front to see that other crossmember. Always did it one wheel at a time, Oh well, Jay
 
You can often see a pair of outey dimples on the bonnet of an E-Type put there by someone who tried to jack the car using the radiator support.

For raising the rear a piece of 4x4 beveled a bit works well to lift the IRS cage with the exhaust still in place.
