Touring car or runabout, hard to put a date on them, at one point Ford jobbed bodies from several coach builders. They would be pretty much the same from 1915-25 although some of the earlier ones used wood members.

I will take a stab at these:
In 1915 open cars these were made of wood which was used for many years until they changed to metal ones like in the picture.
These are used in a car with wood sill rails and wood body posts because of the screw holes.
For the "improved" 1926 open cars the floorboard risers were made differently for the "All Steel" body.
I don't know when the wood to metal changeover was, so I say this is for '20 or '21 to '25 open cars.

Now closed cars were slower to make the transition from wood to metal and continued to use wood structure in the bodies of the Fordor through 1927
The coupe and Tudor went to "All Steel" for the 1926 year.
I am not familiar with the wood structure closed cars to tell if this fits the '20s closed cars.

A restorer of closed cars would have to answer if that fits.

1925 is not the same as these.

I believe the ones for 25 are riveted to the firewall.

Here is older post showing coupe and open car metal risers. The ‘25 open car risers have tabs to secure the kick panel, earlier metal risers the kick cardboard panel is shaped to the curve by tacks to the wood framing.
