Flat Fenders on Industrial Super A

I own a 1950 +/- International Industrial Super A that has flat fenders, instead of the typical clamshell ones. (See attached photo.) These fenders are constructed from 3/16 inch thick steel plate, and appear to have been factory made. There are upright tubes welded to the top surface of each fender, implying that the fenders may have supported a sunroof at one time. But these do not look sturdy enough to have supported a ROPS rollbar or roll-cage.

Does anyone know about these fenders? Were they commercially available?

Thank you very much. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Definitely not IH fenders.

Whoever built them did a good job. Definitely someone who had the right tools, not a just with a torch and a sledgehammer.
 
Definitly 'homemade'.I see a few 'flaws'.Whoever made them knew what they were doing!He did a raelly good job!Now,please dont take them off and throw them away just because they are not "factory".That would be a crime.The 'homemade' fenders are much more interesting than the 1000s of "correct" tractors out there.Please dont be offended.It just breaks my heart everytime someone destroys something like that because its "not factory".The homemade stuff is a tribute to the ingenuity of the American Farmer.If something wasnt available or unaffordable,he MADE it.Thank you.Steve
 
I'm willing to accept that these aren't IHC OEM, but they just seem too well designed and constructed to be farmer-made one-offs. I suspect that they were made by a small after-market supplier as part of a fender-and-sunroof package. But that is only a guess.

And Steve, I do plan to keep the fenders on the tractor. I agree that all too often, people are willing to exchange the unique for the commonplace, and something is lost in the process.
