Default 1930 Ford A Standard roadster. What is NOT correct?

Hi guys:

I just got a 1930 Ford A Standard roadster, to replace a 1930-31 that I have that had some adapted things, like juice brakes, 12 volts, and parts from different types and models and which I will now be selling. In other words, it is a sort of trade... I get a better car, still with mechanical brakes, with it's original engine (dated Oct 1930) as stated in it's original invoice, so I am glad it is a number's matching car. And in the end, this one will be more correct and also cheaper to restore.

However, the car is far from perfect, and has had some changes throughout it's life. For instance, it now has 21" wheels, which I understand are correct for 1928-29.

I would like to find out answers to some doubts I have on it, for instance:

The front bumper looks too flat. Is it supposed to be this way?

The rear bumpers would appear to be older... am I correct?

There is two taillights... were they offered that way optionally or would it be after market?

And of course, I am wanting to find out what I need to get in order to restore it correctly. I know of course of headlight reflector, headlight lenses, a set of 19" wheels, hubcaps, fuel cap, radiator cap (though I was given a thermometer to install) and surely tons of minor bits...

I would appreciate any opinions as to what is not correct on the car, as I can probably get some of the parts from my other car prior to selling it, and then only look for what I really don't have.

Pics attached.

Thanks for any help and opinions!
