Maybe something was changed postwar so I can't speak directly to the 39. However, since so many parts carried over I wouldn't think too much changed.
On my 47 the seal won't fit into the hole without really scrunching the sides together and distorting the seal. It's fairly long to fit entirely above the carpet on mine plus the carpet only appears to have a slot arrangement -- although it is in sad shape so something could be worn away.
The 46-50 service manual has a photo where it appears to be directly on the pedal. Would be nice to know conclusively since there does seem to be different opinions.

Guys, I think the seals are actually meant to fit into the holes of the removable plate. I purchased the Steele Rubber versions for my 39 Six Sedan and they look just like the originals in OD's post. Notice the small lips on the lower edge. This shape matches that of the openings of the plate such that it pops in and sandwiches the plate. The larger diameter oval shape then sits above the floor material (Rubber or carpet) such that the driver only sees the larger diameter over the floor for a nice look.
