Mystery convertible top - please help identify

I have this convertible top frame laying around. I bought it site-unseen because I was told it was a 57 ford top frame but it is not.

I would say it is later model judging by the chrome weatherstripping and the way that the header panel bolts on.

Anybody got any ideas. It has some part numbers on it as well..

 

Where did you get white boots, and how do you keep them clean? lol

no, no ideas on the top

 

I don't reconize it , but I would say it is Ford by the part number. The BA throws me off but the 7653106 looks kike a Convertible specific part based on how Ford numbers their parts.

 

Haha, I didn't notice the "boots" in the picture after posting!

 

My guess is 57 Mercury so far just because the guy said 57 Ford when he sold it to me. I just have never seen a 57 merc vert in person to verify.

 

According to the part number on the bottom picture BA-7653104 is a 56-64 folding top rail according to Dennis Carpenter site.
