I understand the center grilles are different, but are the side grilles the same for 39 and 40?

Not quite Chris. The grille mounting holes (in the fenders) for the '39 are different than the '40. It would require drilling holes in the fenders in order to accommodate the '39 grilles. That is the reason the 1939 and 1940 Champion fenders carry different part numbers.Richard Quinn
