this is identical to the originail benley rack, the only difference is the mounts were changed for the size of bike it went on.

Here is another option in the form of the Wald Bicycle Rack.
The Wald rack used to be a favorite of mine back in my bicycle building days. I used to cut them up and butcher them for different purposes. But just last weekend I decided to break out the angle grinder and see if I could mod up one of these Wald's for the Dream.

THe plan is to use P-clips to mount the rack to the bottom of the seat frame.

I'll post updated pics once I get it all worked out.

It looks like you really got something going there .... And I like the chrome rod / tubing look

Please keep me informed on your progress

Good job

This was what came with my 1962 C72.....

Perhaps a bit large but I've had it re-chromed fro putting back on the bike when finished.

After posting yesterday I was inspired to finish this project.
The P-clips were easy to find at my local Lowes and everything turned out surprisingly well!
The trim rail needs to be removed and the seat cover peeled back a bit to gain access to the seat frame but everything else is pretty straight forward.

If I were to do it again I would probably go for longer screws as it was a bit of a pain to get the nuts to catch a thread while attaching.
