1929 RHD Speedster Chassis?

I have come across a 626 chassis that has sometimes been referred to locally as a speedster chassis. What is interesting about this chassis is that the engine mounts are spaced for the big 8 engine and there is no sign of the original holes for the mount for the standard 8 engine. If these holes have been welded, it cannot be seen. I thought that a 626 chassis with engine mounts for big engine must be a speedster chassis. However, one more curious note is that it is drilled for RHD, with no holes on left hand chassis rail for the steering gear. Is it possible that a 626 speedster chassis was made at the factory in RHD? Love to hear your thoughts on this. The chassis number is 238xxx which is in the normal 626 range. Cheers Mal
