Default Roll cages

Ok i got given a roll cage to day me and my new naibour was clearing the top end of his garden a there was a old shed up there and we was taking it down for the extra space and in there we found a old puch bike and this roll cage (only back half)

Its made by safty devices and is very small maybe mini or metro BUT is there any way of finding out ????? cant see any numbers stamped on it any where

The bolting points are strainge as well rear plates are dead strait (flat not angled for say the wheel archs) and the main uprights are flat but at funny angles
We get pic in the morning

Maybe someone now whot its out of Standlake is'nt far from me and alot of people nr by do racing minis baggers ect

Mini rear bars went onto back shelf if I remember so the rear legs will be short. Things like Pug 205 etc goes to floor and has flat rear plates. How long are the back legs ?

The rear mountings look like a 205 roll cage, but the front ones don't!
