Oh contrare Bobsticle. As posted that’s the correct fitting for an adjustable drop plate. The angle iron is bolted underneath the cross member. I knows cos I paint it every year.

90/110's have the rear stays and point on the chassis to mount them. The drop plate is generally smaller and often bolts to the underside of the cross member rather than the back face of it.

On a Series the drop plate bolts top and bottom on the rear face of the cross member. The drop plate has no mounting points for rear stays and nor does the chassis. If they have been fitted they will have been done aftermarket and technically are not a genuine fitment.

My richards new series 3 chassis[2010] has square strengthened sections with threaded holes in on base to mount that piece if required.
As seen in pic below
