NOT a coupe deck lid! (If it were, then it would fit 1937-38 coupe and club cabriolet).
It looks to be a Deluxe Sedan lid (Standard is way different, a bit of a carryover from 1937 but even then different).
My understanding is the basic shape is the same 1938 Deluxe Sedan, 1939 Sedan (Standard or Deluxe) and 1940 Sedan (Standard or Deluxe), with differences for the cut out for the deck handle.
Then there are the aussie slopers...

Nice find.
