Hello,

I found a difference in shape on the front wings of my oval. Sad
Is it possible to know if my wings are for oval?

width 34 centimètres (13,39 inches)

Thank you very much

Funny, I have the exactly the same question/problem with my '56 here in the States. On mine I determined that the shallower curve and the slightly lower postition of the lights on the right fender indicated to me it was a replacement. The tail of my fender is also like yours, not quite the same taper.

Ok, if you find information do not hesitate! Smile My oval is Portuguese.
