Technical Not seen before

Viewing the Me*** Gene Hetland Deuce Collection auction, I noticed this center cross member. Is it an early unit? I've never seen one like it.

 

Must be super early. The motor has a one barrel carb on it. I think they switched to a two barrel later. Im probably wrong on my thinking.

 

early production

 

I thought that the very early ones didn’t have the legs to make it an actual ‘K’ member, such as the one shown.
Enlarge the ch***is number to verify this !

 

The single barrel Detroit Lubricator carburetor was carried over to the 1933 model year with minor changes, such as throttle linkage on the driver's side.

 

This ch***is, as pictured, sold for $18,150 at the Me*** auction.
