Default Briggs, Murray, Ford body?

OK, everything I have been able to find says that for Slant Window sedans, Briggs had a D nut and Murray had a square nuts. What did Ford built bodies have?

FWIW

On the 1931 Slant window bodies the Briggs bodies also had the Brigg's "bug" near the cowl lacing on both side see attached photo.

If you don't have time to do it right the 1st time, how do you have time to do it the 2nd time?

160B,
Thanks for posting the Briggs logo. It's the first time I have seen that.

We also found the Briggs "bug" stamped on the rear body subrail near the spare tire mount.

That is a great question. I was not aware that Ford was making a slant window sedan. All I have ever seen were Briggs and Murray.
