Hi Jaques
These tie down loops have a half inch shank (1/2 UNC) and they have been specified for a sedan that weighs 1700 lb unloaded.
If they are a Ford part, it is possible they could have been used on different Ford wartime builds, maybe even the '42 staff cars built in Ontario?
Perhaps your frames 7/16" hole provision is a bit lightweight for a heavier 4WD? Like you say, it is a mystery.
