Is the flange perpendicular to the tube...? Could be ‘26 open car side curtain socket grommets...?

Cool Beans! Those 1926 open car door pieces are very hard to find, in any shape and your's are NOS, of course. ;)

Didn’t the Canadian / Australian Doors for the 26 and 27 have that raised section built in as part of the door?
Mine certainly do however one of those would add extra protection for the paint if they were nickel plated and installed after
the paint job.

The USA '27 model year also feature that little change. Ford got rid of the zinc curtain opening escutcheon and used its growing metal stamping mfg. to add that molded edge around the hole for the curtain rod. And, if you tried to fit these zinc pieces to the already sheet metal formed 1927 edge, it wouldn't fit. The zinc piece needs the bare edge curtain hole doors, 1926 model year.
