My "C" has the void as well;  and, in agreement with John Lazenby, you 
could NOT open the hood if present.

   Hi Owen,

Our 300C, 3N572973 was built in June or July which is about 66% through 
the
production run if I did my math correct.  The grill has the missing 
piece as you
describe, but I have no way of knowing if the grill is original to the 
car.  I
also have a spare grill that I'll look at later today.

I've always thought that this was "factory correct" and the question I 
would
pose if there is a fixed upright in that position how does one release 
the hood?
Once again it just shows how much we really don't know about the mark.
