Can you ID this air filter?

Can anyone identify this oil bath air filter? I have a 1941 V8 pickup, and I thought this might be the correct Donaldson filter when i bought it on eBay, but the bottom doesn't match the description I've seen elsewhere in this forum, as it is not flat and has no D. It was advertised as fitting my vehicle, but if it doesn't I'd at least like to be able to ID it correctly when I resell it.

Thanks,
Steve

It's about 9 inches wide.

The bottom part of that one is wider than mine. I'll take another pic.

Thanks.
Here's another that appears to match the bottom:

I guess I'll use this one until I find the correct one and then sell this one as just "post WWII"

I don't know exactly what it came from but by coincidence it looks like the one I am using on my 41 pickup.
