I can. assure you that it is not all for the past 60 years.
I have a few cameras that have the tripod mount molded or attached to the main chassis. A few that comes to mind is the Nikonmat EL, Nikon F3 and my Rollei SL35ME all mounted to a solid chassis. The base plate is just a plate with a simple hole for the tripod mount. Just did a simple check from one of my cabinet.
i did not say all, i said most.
the Nikon F (circa 1968ish) also does not mount to a inner frame so i would venture to say that the F3 follows form and does not either. due to its cover design it doe mount to a 4 (straight slot too not Philips type) screw base plate/cover under the film bay cover. looks can be deceiving.
