I sold one like that a few years ago. It was for early K-F. Haven't seen many for sale.

That back-up light was offered in early 1947 and was soon replaced by a different style that looked like the parking light and mounted under the tail light either singularly or in pairs.  This light mounted on the lower left deck lid after drilling a large hole in it.  You need to want either of these back-up lights badly as you have to make holes in the car to install them and they are not very frequently seen.  1949 and later back-up lights were mounted on the rear bumpers of the cars.  It looks to have all of the major parts and it originally came with an instruction sheet.
