Anyone have pictures of a Wing vehicle with a legally mounted front license plate?

When I was a CHP Officer in south Los Angeles, my partner and superior pulled over a Corvette one day to check the VIN for a shot in the dark chance the VIN had been messed with and the car was previously stolen. After harassing the driver a awhile, and not finding anythng amiss, the peeved driver asked my training officer why he had been stopped in the first place. My superior looked around briefly, saw absence of a front license plate, and used that as probable cause to make a traffic stop. Actually, he was just covering his butt, because at the time of the stop we really did not have any valid reason to red light the driver.
 
I've had 2 Superbirds with different front mounts. One was to the chin spoiler and the other inside the center nose opening. Not sure which is correct. But...I seem to remember that 1970 there was a Service Bulletin that showed dealers how to mount the plate/bracket to the nose. Been decades since I think I saw that. Not sure if anyone has a copy of that to post.
 
the service bulletin said to mount front plate on the Bird on top of the nosecone between the headlights...and some did do this.....the Daytona was under the front grill with special bracket to mount plate
 
Here's one I found for sale on ebay:
