Hi hopefully these images will work, I have a tail light bracket photographed between a left and right 1931 and 1932 bracket and a single photo of the middle bracket that I would like to identify. The mounting plate is not on an angle. It is nos and apart from the angle of the mounting plate it looks almost identical to the ones in the photos. The rusty one was bought at Hershey this year and the black one is also from the US. If it was mounted on a car it would be on quite a sharp angle and wouldn't work. Any ideas.

The single and center bracket is an after market '31-'32 passenger taillight bracket. I was supplied with a wedge adapter plate that could be flipped to mount on either right or left rear fender.

Thanks, that makes sense.
I assume it was not a genuine part from Chevrolet.

After market parts are either made by a non-GM company or a GM subsidiary to fit several applications. Neither is "factory" correct.
