Default Headlight bucket/Turnsignal assembly ID help

Happy Saturday! I am trying to identify the headlight buckets that came with my latest 36 Ford 5W Coupe project and need some help. I don't think these are 36 Ford headlight buckets. Any help on the identification would be much appreciated. The buckets have about a 1 inch diameter hole in the top of them. A chrome plated assembly with a round jewel-like lens then goes in the hole. I will attach a picture for a visual representation.

Hi Everyone, kyhotrod, this is from the restoration/originality/judging book by Don Rogers and John Swanberg that is published by the Early Ford V8 Club of America. Available here: https://www.earlyfordv8.org/Shop.cfm?id=18&pid=2

It might help to know what country the Coupe was manufactured in.

coupe was manufactured in the USA. The bucket itself looks more like the top photo than the bottom. It's the turn signal assembly on top that has been very difficult to identify so that I can replace. Thanks for your help!

maybe if you take off the front plate it might be more recognizable as 35 or 36.....looks like a sealed beam adapter plate.....top turn signal might be add-on.....Mike

The turn signal is an Arrow made item.Check eBay for Arrow turn signal.

Arrow 1171

Bucket is surly stock to the car as it has the Ford ring attachment fork on the bottom.
