Something else I've subsiquintly found is that the Canadian Hood Side-flashes used on the '57-'60 trucks F-series trucks, is the same design that was used on the M-series trucks, just w/ FORD/F-100 Lettering in place of the MERCURY/M-100 Lettering.
Which is rather different from what the U.S. made F-series Hood Side-flashes looks like.
This might have been done for other year models as well.
