Tongue/side rail gusset question for home-built trailer

See this thread for my trailer build. Does anyone have a good shot of the underside of an AT trailer tongue? I want to see how they gusset the side rail/tongue junction.

My plan is to use a 3/16" fish-mouth plate on the inside (vertical surface), and also to do some sort of 3/16" plate gusset on the underside of the junction (horizontal surface).

I already bought one of AT's tongue brackets to use.

Suggestions/feedback?

EDIT:
This is the best photo I could find. It looks like there's a welded-on skid plate at the junction that also acts as a tongue gusset. Is the skid plate under the fuel cans a separate piece from that under the water tank?
