Default Beauty Rings

I have a 39 Deluxe Tudor. I have a mix of ribbed and smooth beauty rings. I have looked in the 1939 Ford Book; it says to look at the pictures. I have found it hard to tell whether the deluxe came with smooth or ribbed beauty rings from the pictures. Does anyone know?

They are not smooth, but not ribbed either. They are described as 'two step'. The have a concave shape between the outer and inner diameter. Kind of hard to describe.

'39 uses the standard trim ring found from '35-'39.

I suppose they are a bit difficult to describe as others have stated. They are smooth though - NO ribs. The rib style was not introduced until 1940. The photograph I've attached will hopefully help...
