Ill bet the one on the left, with license plate Tee but without the gas tank filler opening, is a rare bird indeed! Perhaps it's an original? Packard had a long-standing habit of using bronze castings for trim parts needed in small quantities - for example the antenna mast to side trim piece on the V8 Caribbeans. There must have been some advantage to offset the higher cost material to casting in bronze for limited #s of items.

Do I see a hole in the side of it?
