I just looked at the VIN tags on both of my
cars. There are two holes (empty) in both the tags and the door jam.
Very close to each hole is a spot weld. It appears rivets were
contemplated but not used, just the spot welds.

Welded VS Rivited Vin tags
If the VIN tag was removed, it usually left two small holes in the tag. I
had a 65 SportFury 426-4spd winter beater car, years ago, Trusty Rusty as we
called it, and one day the tag fell off when the door opened.It rusted enough
behind the tag, to compromise the spot welds, it did not leave the holes in
the tag, so I pop riveted the plate back on, through the factory holes they
use to locate the tag during the spot weld operation. This maybe a similar
situation, or body work/ restoration work may have required its removal. Ya'll
have a nice day, Dave.
