If it does not look like there was ever a body plate attached, I would leave it as is. Not all Fordors had a plate & with the s/w '31's, it is not obvious who would have assembled the body [ Briggs; Murray or Ford] as they all look the same except for a few details of which someone will surely tell you. Some had a plate on the floor, or not at all.
Fordors assembled in Canada had no body plate [ & no data plate after 1928] but did have a number stamped into the wood in front of the seat preceded by a stylised ' F' designating the main Ontario Plant.
