I got these rechromed headlight rings from a parts car I purchased a few years back. The rings have this diamond point on the top of the ring that I do not have on my 32 coupe, Were these used on a Chevrolet or possibly other GM cousins of the time,

Yes the buckets are different except for the '33 CA Sedan Delivery that uses the '32 buckets. The major difference is the mount to the headlight support bar.

The 32 buckets have 4 rivets that attach the mounting plate which is on the exterior of the bucket and it is painted. The 33 buckets have 6 rivets that attach the mounting plate which is inside the bucket and the rivet heads are plated .
