I bought my completely original 40 coupe in 1963 from original owner and that style weather stripping was not used.
To the best of my knowledge 1940 Fords did not come with the top of door weatherstripping piece (shown in the last 2 above photos) that curves downward at the top corner of the door and then runs down the outer edge of the door.
Perhaps others will chime in and provide more info.

I was just about to comment in the same regard. But, you beat me to it
There was no seal like that in 1940 and just because Drake claims it to be "improved" doesn't mean it's any good and / or will fit without complications.
Me? Why try to reinvent the wheel? It's a '40 Ford. Yes, it's not airtight like a new car. It's a '40 Ford.
