On the turn signals Dell is correct. Packard never had a terminal junction block connection for turn signals -- just inline wire connectors that were typically found positioned somewhere in the area around the fender junction block. That was the method of choice thru 56.
Not sure if prewar cars used the round Douglass or the flat Wade terminals. Both are sort of obsolete but terminals and the inline connector piece are still available from a few of the old loom places such as Rhode Island Wiring -- somewhat expensive though. Closest modern and less expensive equivalent is the round bullet connector or the .250 quick tab. Both can probably be found at a local parts store. A layer of black heat shrink over the terminal wire connection ends and the plastic connector piece will disguise the modern look.
Here is a snip from the factory 42 wiring diagram and I believe that part of the diagram would be the same for a 41.
