Most of the fittings on your carrier will have the year of manufacture of that part, so you will be able to quite quickly get close. 1941? or 42?
The radiator will have a little brass tag soldered to it up in the curved bit at the top where the fan goes past. It will give month and year.
Be careful with that nice looking steering wheel.
Take lots of photos even for the mundane stuff, like which way bolts go in, and if you're removing rivets, which holes have flat ones or none (for bolts?)
If your're good with a welder or you know someone who is, then you might be able to patch rather than replace?
