I could be wrong, but I believe those are for a T.

UPDATE: Yup, I was wrong :lol:

Pressed steel so not Ford, and blades are too short without offset. Don’t know make.

I have seen similar ones on a 1914 T with black and brass sidelights. Some sidelights came with the brackets riveted to the light.
