I don't know about the post TS60000 rear apron, but the difference
between the TR2-3 and TR3A apron is only the brake lamps. In fact, on
my TR3, when I bought the new rear apron, it was actually a 3A apron
that had had the brake lamp mounts removed and welded over.
What I do know though, is that if you can salvage the old apron, do it.
The new ones are so rough that it would take either an expert sheet
metal guy or and expert bondo worker to make them look correct.
Unfortunately, I'm neither, but then again, I'm not particular either.
