Can anyone ID these headlights circa 1925-1935? New Pictures

I'll post pictures later, but I picked up about half a dozen sets of headlights today. They somehow managed to survive the '64-ish Fairlane they were in being torn up by a loader.

The neatest set is about 12" diamteter, chrome/nickel shell and ring, glass lens "CM Hall Headlight Co. Detroit MI" has part number, size info on it. Mazda lamps in both sides. The housings have a small green glass lens in the top and are mounted on a heavy stamped channel headlight bar. This ring any bells? Lens is marked with sizes on it also, seems like it's 11 3/4 by 10 1/2 or close to that.

Some of the others are probably Ford T or A with rotted sealed beam conversions. At least one with a nice unmarked original glass lens though.

28-29 Stude have the bump on top like that. I looked through my books here and they must be 1927-1931, maybe 28-29, and that top bump is going to ID them because most of the ones I looked at do not have it. Some cars it's not: Lincoln, Packard, Oakland, Chrysler, DeSoto, Plymouth, Dodge -

Here's the last pair, no visible ID. There's a couple of odd singles too.

These are all smaller, round backs, most of them stainless/chrome, from looking at my books like 1928-1932 era. Some you can get an idea of the size by the seal beam conversion in the one set, lenses are all about the same size on them.

Those lights have the big lens in the first photo with the raised bump in the top - it's the one not shown in the other two photos My book shows a 1930 Model 733 and the headlights don't have that raised part. There is a 1929 shown but the angle is too sharp to really tell and they do not show a 1931 in this book - the 1930 shown, the headlight bar is different also.

They could be '32's, the '32 Deluxe 8 they look close. These pictures are really too small to use to ID anything with though.
