According to the Dennis Carpenter catalog, 35 to 39 are the same.
Sacramento Vintage Ford's catalog has some nice assembly diagrams.

As I recall, there is an outer chrome trim ring. The glass lense is held
onto the inside of this with some spring clips. There is a cork seal that
goes between the glass and the reflector, and some different springs that
go between the reflector and the headlight bucket. The trim ring is held
onto the bucket with a latch assembly. The latch clips onto two tangs on
the headlight bucket.

Most of this stuff is in the Sacramento Vintage Ford catalog, but they
don't have the buckets or trim rings. I don't know of anyone making
reproduction buckets for these years, but there are some available for
earlier years or "generic" style.

Were they universals or made to fit?

I have been unable to locate a parts list/view for a '39 but C&G Early Ford
Parts (760-740-8700), Sacramento Vintage Ford (800-482-3444) and Macs
(800-828-7948) have various parts, like lens to rim retainer clips, lenses
& gaskets, reflectors, reflector mounting clips and other bits for '39's.
Didn't see any chrome rims but my catalogs are a couple of years old so
maybe they've added more '39 stuff.

Universal. Very similar to the originals used in many old trucks of the era.
