I just checked mine, which still has the original cloth material. I was mistaken. There is no plate holding the material, just the washers that you mentioned.
The lower rear portion of the splashers attach to the car's cowl with a bolt. I could not see if the lower front was attached to anything, but it felt like it must have had something holding it firm.
I should add that the dust ruffle begins at about the midway point, and runs to the back.

I vaguely remember the cloth and kept asking myself about it. I'm the last guy on technical, but the inside panels of the fenders are indeed called Splashers, part 7.011, and the dust ruffle is the Front Fender Splasher Seal 7.015, riveted apparently (9/64 rivets are listed with the seal...and that's why I have all these thin washers, so the rivets could hold the material better).
I'm missing the plate, it may be around here somewhere, but the dusters bit the dust so long ago (I've had the car since 1960), I think it's unlikely. A photo would be a great help.
