correct rear fender for 1952 F1

looking to replace my rear fenders on my '52 F1.
What other year's fenders will fit? I know that F-2, F-3 had a different fender.
I know that the only 51 and 52 F1 share the same front fenders.
Any help is appreciated.
And yes I am looking for a decent pair of front and rears for my old buggy.

What you know is all there is. Late in 1950 Ford changed the style and construction of the box for F1's from the raised panel sides to flat sides. That necessitated a change in the mounting surface for the fender to the bed. If you have the flat side box, the late 50 to 52 fenders are the only ones that will work for you.

definitely flat sided bed

Thanks for your response.
Are you aware of what the differences are between and an '50's vs. late 50 fender, that would alllow me to dertmine if it is an early or later fender from 1950?
Just starting this project and looking for "stuff"
4 hub caps, window glass, especially the driver's side door and a left side, outside mirror.

Yes, the early fender has a step in the mounting surface where it fits around the raised panel area on the bedsides. The later fender is totally flat around the mounting surface.

Another way to explain it is: Ford made running changes sometimes during a model year. Box and fenders were one of those. You might say late 50 F1s received 51/52 boxes and rear fenders.
