On one bike, running 1x10, I used a Wolftooth direct mount single ring, with bash guard mounted to it. That was made quite a few years ago, not sure if they still have it. It was a special bashguard, that mounted to spectate holes on the chainring.
The benefit of bolting the bashguard onto the chainring instead of the other way around, would seem to be that you can use a steel chainring, for some extra strength, and plastic bashguard for better sliding.
