After reading all the replies to this Thread, it seems that the Tail Light mounted on the Right Side in the higher position is the correct height, the same as the 1940 Fords in the USA. The one on the Left Side that sits lower is the incorrect one. That could mean that Ford Australia imported all Standard Passenger Side Rear Fenders for their 1940 Fords, and added the extra Tail Lights for the Deluxe models locally. Unfortunately, I don't think that we will find a definite answer to this question. The people who worked on these cars when new are no longer with us. So, the higher mounted Tail Light on these RHD 1940 Fords is in the correct position, while the Passenger Side Tail Light is mounted too low.
