These 2 photos show the inside of the Cowl of an Australian 1934 Ford Phaeton.
You will see this "pie-cut" that we have been discussing. It is more evident in the second picture. This was done on the Imported Cowls to change the direction of the "D" Molding, on account of the higher Wooden Floor used in the Australian manufacture of these 1933 & 1934 models.
Remember that this car is Right Hand Drive, & you can just see the Spoon of the Accelerator Pedal in the second picture.
Some may ask what that Angled Piece that is located just under the Accelerator Pedal is?
It is actually a Foot Rest when driving. This Bracket is screwed into the Wooden Toe Board. The right part of your foot or shoe rests on this bracket. It works out very well. Otherwise, your foot would be "hanging" in mid air.
If you want to see more pictures of this Bracket, lets know & I can post some.
