I have a 57 TR3 and a later TR3A. The TR3 has an "X" support formed out
of sheet metal which I think is spot welded to the underside of the
trunk lid. The TR3A has the detachable cross member. I think the one for
your 3A may be missing. Between us, we have examples of TR3's, TR3A's,
and TR3B's that all have variations of it, so I agree with Tom. I doubt
that they discontinued it for a stretch in the middle of production.
