Technical Help Identify Please

Help identify these tail lights

 

They almost look like clearance lights from an 18 wheeler.

Look like early side lights that were introduced to help see cars from the side view better.

 

1946-48 Olds 66 or 76/8 series, same my 46 sedanette

Yep I was just getting ready to answer!
Didn’t they use them in 1942 as well?

Very similar, the ones I've seen have small raised pressings in the edges however for the purpose of the exercise, 1942 is in the mix

 

They are 42 to 47 Olds taillights. 48 changed. As a kid, I was impressed with Jim Travis' yellow 29 roadster with this setup. When I built my roadster, I looked for a good set for my 32. It took 8 pair to get 2 undamaged frames. I checked an old junk yard once and the owner said " I don't have any more. Totem hot rodders bought them up years ago!". If you find a pair, get the bulb sockets also. They are different and nothing modern will fit.

 

I like them, they fit the bottom panel on a model A just right. And they are not the same old teardrop 39 ford lights that everyone has.
