Default Ford headlight rings...help identify please!

I recently purchased a set of headlight rings advertised as '33-'34 Ford. However they are not for that application. I need some help indentifying these rings. Below is a picture and here are the measurements...
rim width: 1 1/8"
O.D.: 8 9/16"
I.D.: 7 3/16"
Inside diameter has a rolled edge. Looks very similar to a '35 ring but doesn't fit that application either.

They look like the ones on my 39 pickup. I can measure them when I get home this evening. Perhaps in the mean time someone will give us an answer.

Looks like 40-41 big truck that take the sealbeam light.If you got them off EBAY very often people do not know what they are selling and guess or say I was told.

The headlight rims in question are either 40 big truck or 41 big truck, if the inner edge that faces the lense is in the 7 1/4" area with your sizing its 41 big truck and that all it fits

Thanks everybody! I think we have it narrowed down now. This was an eBay purchase, so that explains the inaccuracy. Often times things are not correctly identified. Thanks again for your help!

Always ask detailed questions before bidding.About 90% of the time sellers list for example head light lenses as 32,33,34 Ford.32's are larger in dia and have tabs for the clips.33-34 have indents for the clips.
