Okay, now that I have been slapped back to reality the answer is:
Nope, those are not stock. At least not in my experience.
I've restored eight or so (I can't recall) 39 /40 coupes and have never seen anything like that.

No apology necessary Kube. My coupe was a mixed bag, with a standard hood/grille but deluxe door panels and garnish. These thin metal pieces look like some kind of stiffener and sure match the age and condition of the panel. Based on your expertise, I'll forget trying to add them to the new panels.
