What does a '64 brake reinforcement plate look like?

After much fun (or not) with an aftermarket booster / MC, I'm thinking about switching over to a factory booster with appropriate MC for discs. Starting with a manual brake car I obviously don't have the power brake reinforcement plate. All the later power systems have a 2:1 toggle lever but I don't think the early ones use that. Looks like it simply uses the lower hole on the brake lever. So questions...

Is that assumption correct? No toggle / lower hole?
Anyone have a snapshot of one of these without a booster in front of it?
Can I just hog out the hole for the apparently lower booster mounting position?
Will a C body booster fit?
Anyone have a booster / plate they'd like to sell?
 
My 64 is an original power brake car.
