Nice work hey!
This one is actually off an FE/FC, I've had it for years and often look at it and wonder if the inner skin was removed just to slap that bog in the badge mounting holes?

Maybe lightened for speed Phil?

I had started looking into having some Pullmax tooling made to reproduce the swage lines of the inner skin, that was before most machine shops closed their doors due to Covid.

That right there is your answer , is there a decent metal fab place nearby that could make up a patch piece ????

Had one bloke have a crack at it, but the panel warped too much.....Similar to what can be seen at the 1:35 mark in this clip..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBdwCQ5l0eE

try planishing the area first before swaging
