Yeah, some bad info being touted there.
I have a 33 5w coupe and I looked at the trunk lid. The pressings are universal. the locations for both types of hinges are in the inner panel. What aren't there are the necessary captive nuts and the required holes and slots for the latches and hinges. So while the pressings are the same the subsequent operations carried out on them are specific for both applications. Luckily for me mine is a trunk car which is my preference.

Edit: My trunk equipped car also has the locations in the vertical strengtheners in the trunk where the rumble hinges would be bolted on.

So there was a degree of commonality between the two types.
