Need a '49 donor

I am restoring a 49 convertible and just realized I am missing some brackets welded to the windshield frame.  The attached pic shows two of the three brackets on the driver's side of the windshield frame.  They're used to attach the garnish molding.  Passenger side is missing 2 of the three brackets.  As the picture also shows, one is a mirror image of the other. 
I am guessing that all models in 49 use the same bracket. Once I find a donor car, I'll work with the owner to figure out which brackets I need.  two of the three are the same and the other is a mirror image.
Problem occurred because, as many of us do, I purchased a work in progress, so every once in a while I find a problem that was discovered during teardown by the previous owner and very unbeknownst to me today! I think the good news is that I will be able to get the brackets welded into place without having to repaint the window frame. 

Thanks for any help in finding a willing donor!
