Please forget the thing about the leather sleeve I said earlier. I somehow mixed the information about the leather from 114a and 114b... 
This is what they say about the lock plate (where they mention the leather):
113 (Fig 80) Rectangular iron plate, two edges of which survive, pierced by an iron nail which passes through wood on the rear face. There appear to be the remains of two copper alloy bosses or studs on the front face, one next to the other. At one corner of the plate is a dome-headed iron stud. The front face is virtually covered in leather. Maximum length: 88mm, maximum width: 90mm, length of nail: 53mm, diameter of boss: 22mm
