This is not correct. The 1940 standard and the 1940 pickup have a hood ornament that is nearly identical but the 1940 pickup hood ornament is about 1.5 inches longer down the front edge and has two screws to secure it near the bottom. I believe that Ford made them in the same mold but cut a piece off the bottom of those used on the 1940 Standards. I think that there is an 01C part number molded into the back of that lower edge used on the pickup and there is an 01A part number on the back side of the ornament. The pickup and standard car have different hood handles as you stated.
