In the illstrated parts book, which figure # (and on what page) shows the type of handle you are working with.  There were trigger or swivel types, and the small parts are not interchangable.

I trust before you started on the car, you already had the 1947-48 Illustrated Parts book and the 1947-49 model year blue cover factory shop manual as helps on this.

If it's a '48 it will have swivel  handle. Only the early '47s had the squeeze type. I don't see any nuts listed in the parts book. I do see the studs listed for the trunk lever and it says the thread size is 10 - 24  if that helps.  I'm guessing the nuts go on those studs.
