I had a '36 Coupe that had a cracked front crossmember that was similar to that. I replaced the entire crossmember with a new one from "Precision Coachworks" of Billerica, MA (unfortunately they are no longer in business, though I have heard that "Joe's Auto Parts" may have picked up some of their function).

This appears to be a less elegant version of that repair. The spring leaf is there to provide reinforcement and something to weld to. It looks like a fairly serviceable repair.
