I wouldn't be bothered too much about originality and such like if I were you it's never gonna be concours original again. But like Rob says it's probably battery acid damage anyway, it's very common for those early bikes with the lead/acid battery and usual reg/rec failures.

That was my initial plan to have the 'beer tray' welded back on but until I find a craftsman that can make the join look invisible its better to just plug the holes up.
Also I am not married to the idea of a chopped frame so it can all change in due course
