I have the lower ones on mine too. Very similar except the lower ones get kicked more and were more beat up. The reason I put them in was they were there originally and just kind of "finish" the interior. Purely decorative.

They follow the shape of the door frame, and then radius to the front edge of the windshield pillar trim. Because the trim is smaller on a prewar, the cover is smaller. There are lower covers as well that were used on the later airplanes.

I took mine off and threw them away, I can't quite understand their purpose:
1. They hide things you need to see as a safety-conscious pilot..
2. They block your view slightly, and as we all know, the B Taylorcraft needs all the vision it can get.
3. They have to be removed and re-installed every annual by your A&P to inspect the cables & pulleys (your A&P surely does that, eh?) and so the screw holes get worn out.
4. Folk might think they are "grab handles" to assist with entry/egress.
5. They serve no useful purpose.
So save your money; inspect your cables & pulleys, get your A&P to inspect them also, and save a few ounces of weight & all the trouble.
Just my opinion of course.

These? I have a tracing BUT they are custom fitted to each aircraft. The ones on my 45 DO NOT fit right on the 41. Not a big deal, you just make them long and trim them to shape. I made cardboard ones (short) so I could get the end shapes right and taped them together to make the metal ones. I made mine from plain cheap flashing aluminum.
