Bought Wrong Acc Pedal on Ebay?

[Bingster]

I just received a NOS accelerator pedal I won on ebay for my '47 Desoto S-11Custom. It looks basically the same as my old one, but the hinge at the bottom of the back of the pedal is about 1/2" or more lower than the old one with a smaller diameter hole for the bolt that attatches the pedal to the floor bracket. Also, the old had serial numbers molded into the rubber on the backside while the new does not.

They must have changed something between '46 and '48 for this pedal arrangement, or my pedal is not for a Desoto but maybe a Dodge, Plymouth or Chrysler. Anybody know for certain?

And maybe this is not a Mopar NOS part but an aftermarket one.

Thanks for the numbers. I do have a Desoto parts book for 1947 but the NOS pedal I bought has no numbers at all, so I have no idea what it may have been intended for.

As the bolt holes for the pedal bracket are in the floorboard from the factory, and the accelerator shaft has to fit into the top of the pedal, you can see how the whole affair would be off with that bottom hinge in the wrong place on the pedal.

Well, the fella cross checked interchange numbers and said the pedal is the wrong one. So he's sending me my money back. (and I send him the pedal.) They don't show the back side of the pedals on ebay.
