I don't have the bike with me at the mo', no. I offered the front mudguard up to the rim brake mount hole thing front and back, both sides looked like they'd work (this is on a disc brake bike with capability to take rim brakes instead).
The issue is, if I were to be using a rim brake, there's no way I could mount it behind the fork, as the hole in the bracket isn't wide enough for this:
to fit through it.
If I fit it in front, I can have the above brake nut in the back, and an M6 bolt through from the front holding the bracket in place. If I were using rim brakes I'd have to do it like this but with brake bolt instead of M6, right? With disc brakes I either run it like this, or have an even longer bolt running all the way through with a regular nut, washer and the bracket on the back holding it in place. Bit of a messy solution.

I'm guessing you don't have that bike at hand?
Your options will become clear once you have it, but generally fenders are meant to be mounted behind the fork.
One thing I don't get is the insistence of many online how-tos to leave the struts untrimmed. If you trim them to a proper length there will be no need for rubber caps and there will be no danger of pokery.
The Mason may have a threaded hole?
