This seems problematic -- is this fork forked?

I finally got around to Boeshielding the interior of my Moto Grand Record's tubes, and when it came time to flip the fork and move the goop around, I noticed what I think is a distressing absence of brazing material on the underside of the non-drive side fork crown. Can this be repaired easily? Is it necessary to fix? (My gut tells me yes.)

First, a couple of overall shots, no obvious damage, no rust. Problem side is the non-drive side, stage right:

DS, which seems fine
