Default Early Frame - What are these engine mounts

Sorry, I don't have a camera today. Last night my friend and my kid showed up at my shop with the front half of a frame and a front axle.

The axle is early, but it's been fiddled with over time.

The frame half is what intrigues me. My friend purchased it for the early crossmember with mounting ears. The rear engine mounts are castings. No, they're not float-a-motors, they are are cast cubes the same size as my stamped mounts. The first thing I went looking for is a frame number, but it's cut off behind the mounts. The mount for the hood retainer is also cast as are the brake spring brackets.

Yes, I looked in 1-4 of the Judgiing Standards - No mention of cast rear engine mounts. So, when my friend comes back later to claim his crossmember, what should I tell him about the rest of his frame? If Pluck happens to be reading this, yeah it's John's part.

Does it have the early '28 solid mount on the front too?

Thanks!
