I had a 1948 4x4 Austin Western way back (it had a Buda gas engine, it was the lasiest engine I ever seen.)That bar is not supposed to be bent. If you look at the pictures you will see that it would not fit the other side in that condition. It was most likely bent by a inexperienced operator. If you moved it in the right position you will probably see how it got bent.
