The frame is mild steel or a moderate high strength steel, but not chrome moly.
Those look like MIG welds to me. Most likely standard ER70S-6 wire. No need to preheat.
If you were to make a plate, I would make one big enough to connect the holes and shape it to fill-in the low area, then weld it around the perimeter.
If you decide to talk to him, correct me if I'm wrong.
