There are different upper splasher panels for the various models. The small sixes have one which is shallow and shorter compared to those used on more senior models. I am not sure what the differences might be on those larger panels or for those cars with AC.

You may also be missing a support bar for the wiring crossing in front of the radiator. I am not 100 % sure where it was located on yours since I can't see the inner fender panels in your photo and there are some differences in pre and postwar panels. If you have nothing, I would suggest fabricating something so the wires are not caught in the airflow and subject to vibration.

Here is an example of the wire support that was used on a 21st series before I cleaned and repaired one end. It is an upside down U channel stamped out of sheetmetal with clips toward each end to hold the wiring. The ends of the U where it mounts to the panels are flattened and tapered to fit the angle of the inner fenders. One bolt on each end thru the inner splasher panels.
