BAM! I think you nailed it right there! If you look reaaaaaaal close at the pic, it looks like there is some realy bad welding on the bottom of the frame; actually, an attempt at welding that resulted in the outer part being melted away.

At the very least, I would have someone with good welding skills remove those plates and do it right! It could be cut with a sawsall, you would just need to drill a large enough hole in the corners to get the blade into to finish the cuts front to back.

Personally, it looks a little scary to me ..... I would fix it before I drove it too much.
