Any of you with the Parts Manuals for Pre 1941 ACKWX-353 6X6 and CF-51 4X4 ns for the headlamps. Most later 30's and pre WWII vehicles dib not have sealed beams and used a similar LensVan may want to check the parts numbers for the Lens.

I did have the Parts lists for Pre WWII trucks but may have sold them.
It's been 30-40 years since I have seen them.
The above twi trucks had similar Lenses with replaceable bulbs.

No wisdom, just 73 years experience around GI Truck and Aircraft parts We did business with all the original Army Parts dealers that started out at war's end. Many were WWII veterans and were very fluent in WWII parts applications.
