The lamp you show does not appear to be the normal Cdn lamp....it almost looks more like the post war convoy lamp from the 50s, but not quite.

I bet there was a factory convoy lamp of the standard variety. Most likely it was mounted with an L shaped bracket to the inner, underside of the hull. What may be disguising the hole is that is was used for a dual purpose and is currently filled with a nut and bolt. The other thing you need to figure out is where the 'red/white' toggle switch was mounted. This is the one that sends the current to either the two red tail lights or the white diff light.
