1942-1947 ford die cast hood latch Picture Needed

I've scoured all over the forums here and looked all over the interwebs. I cannot find and diagrams or pictures of the hood latch installed from the underside of the hood. Can someone point Me to some or post some here?

Thanks in advance

I don't know the answer, but can observe that the mechanism appears to me to be similar to the 1940 Ford hood latch. Maybe pictures of those can help you?

I'm Not sure as to the technical area you are referring to. But if you go to it and then copy and paste the web address into a reply here I can usually get to it. Thanks
