Need help identifying 37 Truck running boards

Hi all,

I have a 37 Model 79 1-1/2 ton with a 157" WB.

It has really nicely styled factory Ford dually fenders covering the rear wheels. It also has what appears to be factory running boards on it but they have been altered or added to at some point over the years.

The front sections appear to maybe be for a lighter duty pickup. And the rear for a heavy truck. The front outer vertical edge of both types have a swept up end to meet the fender and are both the same width where they meet the fender. But the 5 rib quickly taper in to be narrower at the back end. The front sections have 5 ribs and the rears have 6. I'm thinking that someone over the years replaced the longer front HD style 6 rib with the maybe pickup style 5 rib? Then moved the longer 6 rib back farther? I'm bummed with how it looks right now. But would really like to have the full length boards with the sculpted factory dually fenders.

I've attached some pics to show what I'm talking about. And a pic of a 37 Ford factory option photo to show they offered the fenders and boards.

If anyone can offer any opinions I'd like to hear it!

Thanks!
