Over the years some suppliers have made replacement pieces with the lip so
the lip probably isn't an indicator of originality. If a car has had the pass
through replaced or repaired..don't panic...it's very common. If you get a
car just be sure to drill a drain hole in the center of the X so water can
run out. Then it will probably last for the next 50 years. In summary, if
the
repair is very well done, there shouldn't be a problem with it not being
original unless you are planning on a $100,000 concours rig.
If you are concerned about rust, I would be looking in the rocker panels,
the floor area under the driver's feet and in the wheel wells. The pass
through X's are one of the cheapest things to repair/replace.
