The ridged detail on the trim says it is '42 or '46. Trim was smooth in '47 & '48.

Certainly '46 trim. Could also be from a Tudor.

These are the Chrome Strips from the hoods of Australian 46-48 Fords and the 46 Mercury. In Australia, our 47 Fords were similar to the 46 models, but did get minor changes. For example, the bottom corners of the trunk lids were rounded, a feature that the USA Fords and Mercs did not receive. Notice the end of the 47 Ford strip is different from the 46 Ford. In the USA, while both the 47 and 48 strips were smooth, they are different. The 48 strip has a greater peak to add strength to prevent damage.

Could also be '42, the only way to be sure is measuring the hood trim. '42 hood trims are about 6" longer than '46, I'll measure the '42 trims and post the length later for comparison.

Measured '42 Hood trim at 57", the '46 trim is closer to 50"

I hope this helps?
