It would be interesting to know the story of why the hood was changed.

I like it!  Are the bumpers correct?

Speculation: The timing chain broke in the late 40s early 50s. Partial disassembly to repair, hood was stored in location away from the car that exposed it to more weathering. 
 

Lack of time and value stopped work for six to seven decades.

Bumpers are not factory but are period correct. Bumpers were an option and not required in all states.

Likely! The chain for the cam also drives the generator and needs adjustment. The manual says with the engine running, tighten it until it hums, and then back off. Easy to imagine what could go wrong with thousands of people  doing this over time.
