    I believe the ones with only a single mounting hole and a parking light hole are 40 Hudson The ones with four mounting holes and no parking light I believe are sealed beam conversion for for 37 to 39 Ford. Am I correct?

    side view would help....I think the top goes back way too far to be for a Hudson, but it's hard to tell from the angle that you took the photos

    The ones on the left with the hole below the headlight are aftermarket for converting 38/9 Fords to sealed beams. They are styled to have a '40 look. I have a pair. The blank ones on the right are probably for the same purpose.
