Default Ford woodie wagon in USS Yorktown

I hadn’t seen any comments about this. The NOAA submersible was looking at the sunken Yorktown deep in the Pacific Ocean and found this Ford wagon. The article I read suggested that it was a “1940-41” Ford. It’s definitely a Ford flathead V8, but it didn’t seem to have the fender shape of a 1940 model. Any thoughts on this from the experts? I guess it could be a 1942 as well. I bet the admiral wished he could have removed it before the ship was sunk.

Here’s the link to the article which also shows a few more photos
