I have my doubts that the battery is located at the front area of battery box on RHD 356s See photo in comment #19

The way I see it is that the battery sits on the left side of the rear portion of the battery box (exactly opposite of a LHD car) and the jack clips hold the jack in front of the battery. Remember that RHD T6 cars still had the, old time, T5 gas tanks and no gas flap on the fenders. You still had to lift the hood to refill your car. This part is really cool, and probably the only one to exist. It is, with out a doubt in my mind, authentic.
