Just saw TS 46298 L on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6469&item=2450164635
and it does have the blanking plate... http://chip.montana.com/tr3/14.jpg
I'm going to keep an eye on this (what else do I have to do with my
time?) as it is pretty easy to spot on auction sites. It may be an on &
off thing over a range of commission numbers rather than a definite
change point.
The other change point I have never been clear on is the use of the
3-color Blue/White/Black bonnet badge (the black is the "TR3" and the
bottom bar). Moss only lists the red&black and blue&white... TRF does
list the blue/white/black stating 'exact application unknown'. I've
seen a few of them over the years on cars in the TS 47xxx neighborhood.
Anyone know if there is a documented change point for these items. Fred
