1936 Hudson Terraplane Coupe spare tire cover question

The 2-piece rear-mounted spare tire cover for this car has a small loop welded to one side of the tread cover where it meets at the bottom.  Was this 'loop' designed to be pinched between the tire and the other side of the tread cover?  Does the face plate then go over it to sort of hold things in place...or am I not understanding the principle of it?

My speculation was wrong.  The loop apparently is just a finger hole to pull the tread cover away and off of the tire; and the face plate must go on first and is held in place by the tread cover.  It's all just a form fit.  There are no bolts, screws or clips - it just hangs on there.....I guess for the convenience of the tire changer - and any would-be thieves. 😉
