The crossbar that you refer too is actually a horizontal piece of sheet metal that carries the stop light bulb and divides the stop lamp and tail lamp sections of the housing assembly. The divider has a turned flange on the forward edge that attaches to the lamp housing at one of the two permanent mounting studs. The rear edge of the divider has a small turned flange at each corner that are used to secure the lamp lens and lens retainer ring. A celluloid lens was original equipment, but without seeing the one you have It's dificult to tell if yours is original or aftermarket.

Oldie, what year did Chevrolet add a brake lamp to the rear tailight? could it be that he has an earlier lamp housing?

The dual tail-light (STOP and license light/tail light) was first introduced in late 1925. Go take a look HERE
