IIRC, the center-center distance of the two studs don't line up with the holes. When I retroverted my March 29 pickup to drum I removed the later "curved" car attachment and replaced it with the (probably) original "straight" car attachment - which was found in the "map pocket" of my truck at the driver's shoulder.

Many features of the March 29 truck are "early" - like Type H headlights. There is some basis of the statement "Ford used up outmoded car parts on the Truck line." Although its not anything that has been formally tracked - and may not be possible given the "remote" assembly of many truck in particular (mine Somerville, MA)
