47 headlight wiring loom & battery cable

Guys, a question. In with my new loom were two headlight bucket pieces -- 5 fabric covered wires in ordinary fabric slip in type loom covering. Correct colors and I think correct type wire but these are considerably shorter than what is in the car now. I'm thinking either what is in my car was changed at some point & is incorrect or these new pieces are for another model. If they are correct then something else is amiss in the car.

Next time someone is close to their car could you tell me what type headlight loom wire is in your car and where it connects. I have 5 wire rubber covered cable to the buckets. One terminal strip about 2/3 down the left fender. Left headlight goes to the strip directly and right headlight has a 4-5' length of the same rubber covered cable which crosses in a channel over the radiator to the left terminal strip.

Another question is battery ground cable. Is it actual wire or the bare braid. I have pictures showing both.
