The turn signal shown here on page 721 of the Ford chassis parts and accessories catalogue aka "The Green Bible" is actually the 1949-1950 Ford clamp on turn signal assy SXTS-B. The 49-50 Ford part number was an OA prefix but for fitting the kit to the 1942-1948 Ford column it is under this part number 6A-18440,you notice that on down the list some of the components have the OA prefix. The green bible only covers the years 1928-1948 but look inside the front cover and you will see it was compiled in November 1950 and list replacement parts,not neccesarily an original part. The SXTS-B clamp on turn signal I think would be the most correct to put on the 1942-1948 Ford and it is a really well built part. I had one on my 1946 Ford that was dealer installed in 1951for the original owner and have used them on most other old Fords I have owned including my 1937 Ford coupe,all with naturally the 1 1/2 " steering column. Too me it is a lot nicer looking unit on a nicely restored 1946 Ford than to look in and see a cheapo Chinaman one.
