Question, are the headlamp buckets L/R the same? Are the "pods" that hold the sealedbeams against the bucket the same L/R? I'm talking about the pod that holds the headlamp adjusters to be clear.1940 Ford DLX.

The left and right buckets are the same to my knowledge.

For future reference: If you look at the hole in the 40 front fender for the headlight bucket, you can see it is not symmetrical, and is the hole is the same on both L and R fenders. Also in the parts book it should only have 1 part number. When there are L and R of something, each has its own number because they are different.
