I am rebuilding the front end on my 67 Charger and the K member has a skid plate welded on the underside of the k member. See attached photos.

Is this correct from the factory or was it was added by a prior Owner?

If it was addded I was going to remove and restore to its original configuration.

Doesn't look like the few factory plates I've seen. Factory used them to protect the slightly deeper Hemi pan.
 
Looks an add on skid plate. Need pictures of top side to be sure.
 
Doesn't look factory, but it was apparently needed and used.
 
I forgot to mention that it is a Hemi car, which you can tell from my avatar.
 
There are 2 styles of skid plates. And they look different, 66-69, and 70-71.

It looks to me like the same style as 1967 one that I have. But that one is beat up pretty good.
 
To me the main stamping looks factory, and then someone welded reinforcements to the sides and back.

I guess I'd agree with that.
Except you are both wrong.

What are you basing this on? Have you owned one or been around one? I showed photos of an original ad a reproduction that all match the one the OP has on his car.
 
I bought the new skid plate and had it welded onto my k member. I will now prime and paint to get ready to install. I have restored all of my front end components and will start assembly this weekend.
