Herb I, I am fairly sure that your bracket was intended for use on TTs with no starter and therefore oil side and tail lamps. For what years? Certainly earlier than the Ford "O" tail lamps that began about 1925.
Were they Ford factory or aftermarket? Past discussions have argued both ways, and I don't recall any definitive decisions. As unusual as they seem to be seen? I would suspect they might be after-market. They are not shown in my 1928 parts book.
Before Ford began offering factory bodies on TTs in 1924, ALL TT truck bodies were after-market or user-built. That meant they varied greatly, in design, applications, and construction methods and materials. After-market brackets were often used, as well as cobbled and crude made up brackets and mountings.
Those are some of the nicest tail lamp brackets I have seen on TTs.
