Ward la France - need help

[BravoMike]

Gentlemen...and Ladies
I am in the process of refurbishing my Ward La France M1A1 Series 5.
I have many books, TM and so on, but I have not managed to see or find what the "triangle" on the tool box is for and the two welded-on plates on the front bumper (if they had been put on a Formula 1 car I could probably guess aerodynamics, but this and WLF cannot be mentioned in the same sentence!!)
Explanation is gratefully received.

Regards

The 'angle iron' in an open 'V' takes the wedge bracket that carries the vise. The "aerodynamic" plates stop brush getting trapped beyween the fenders and the "Tree buster" front bumper.
