Tail Light Location on Rear Fender

I am restoring a 1930 FORD Model A Closed Cab Pickup. The existing rear fenders are in bad shape, and I am replacing with new steel reproduction fenders. Is there a reference available that illustrates and explains the correct location for the installation of the tail light on the left rear fender, as well as the right rear fender?

I am not confident that the rear fender location is correct on the existing left fender to be replaced, and there is none on the right rear fender.

Thanks to all those who respond.
 
I believe that model A pickups had the taillight mounted on the pickup box using a special forged bracket using a block of wood. If you don't care about authenticity, you can mount them on the fender(s). Mounting them on the box would save you trying to figure out where to drill the holes for the taillight(s). Hope this helps.
