If Lawson Cox is correct, then all of these are aftermarket and would explain why there is so many variations. It seems like whatever you make work is whats correct for your car.

Lawson is correct. There were quite a few aftermarket's made by several companies back then. Western Auto,Pep Boys ,JC Whitney were some of the vendors.In around the mid 1960's reops were being made although they did not have the detailing of the 1930's aftermarkets. Here is a pic of an original OEM '34.You can see clearly how crisp the detailing is. American Arrow Corp begining in the early 1970's made the best repos(IMO) and out of stainless.There is a member here that is making very nice limited edition 32-34 Greyhounds.
