Ask your friend to put his hand up the back of the frame rail and feel if it is smooth or has the distinctive shape of the stock reveal. The lower curved edge is much sharper on the actual chassis than that rolled bead on the cheater panel. In a similar vein it is also sharper on a gennie frame than a lot of the repro rails.

The rails may be fabricated and not gennie or even a better repro which do have the reveal shape. It would be funny if it has one of the mega rare smooth sided gennie chassis and the covers were made to give it the appearance of the more common frame.

Edit: David, it is stated that it has been converted to RHD so the round holes may have been recently drilled. I think they look marginally lower down the frame rail than stock. The upper bolt on a gennie rail is very close to the radius at the top.
