The Victoria and Deluxe Fordor models (slant windshield) have the same visors. There are two different visor bracket hinges. The brackets should be riveted to the visors.
The installation of visors by the Ford Branches was inconsistent.

Sun Visors. The Chicago Branch Service Letter of February 27, 1931 and the Indianapolis Branch Service Letter of March 13, 1931 to their dealer’s indicate that the RH sun visor (passenger’s side) was discontinued as standard equipment in the Victoria. The Chicago Branch Service Letter states that it would be available for installation by dealers as Part Number A-192405-A Brown, and A-192405-B for Bedford Cord. However the Chicago Branch Service Letter of 4-10-31 to its dealer’s states that the RH sun visor was reinstated. Contrary to the Chicago Branch letter, the Indianapolis Branch Service Letter of 4-3-31 does not indicate that the RH visor was reinstated. Instead the Indianapolis Branch informed its dealers that the visors would be made available to them as A-192405-C in Brown Mohair, A192405-D in Bedford Cord, using these part numbers for both the RH side and classed as special equipment for the LH side. The Indianapolis Branch Service Letter of 4-3-31 also states that A-192406-C in Brown Mohair and A-192406-D were standard equipment for the LH side. Then on 4-27-31, the Indianapolis Branch informed its dealers via a service letter that the RH visor was reinstated in production in the 160D Town Sedan, the 160C Deluxe Fordor and the 190A Victoria. Could it be that there are two different configurations of sun visors, the A-192405 and the A-192406?

Great information. So many people install them wrong (like modern sunvisors)

It also states in the service letters that the quarter window shades were discontinued in April of 1931 which is before the indented firewall! Also look at the outside window reveals, they are painted lower body color. Not done on this paint scheme.

The Paint & Refinish Guide calls for reveals to be lower body color on the maroon & black paint scheme.
