Can anyone tell me ......where it would have been mounted?
Normal convention among most coachbuilders, European or American, was to place it on the passengere's side (right side here in the US) just forward of the front door, down low by the sill. That said, there were exceptions, for example some coachbuilders incorporated it into the rear door sill plate, and there are other variations.
The Dietrich plate you show was in use for many years. On Packards it was also usually accompanied by the Dietrich build# plate. This was often under the carpet by the front passenger seat, but again there are other variations. Pictures below are from a 1935 Twelve which was left over unsold, and updated and sold as a 1936.
