I know you are sure, but are you REALLY certain that the "original" package tray shelf you have hasn't been altered somewhere in its life? Or perhaps the guy at the factory in 1939 was having a bad day when he cut it out. In any case, I would go ahead and make your own package tray that does fit. It really won't hurt anything or detract from the install of your interior and noone will ever tell the difference. Another (not so good) idea would be to gently tap the sheet metal so that it moves inward to match your "original tray.
