I wouldnt buy repro front wings! Regardless of description by the seller.
Ideally look for oval wings to get the right humps and deep sides, or at least go for genuine old 60's wings and modify them (you wont get the humps with 60's, but at least you will have good quality wings)
Also they will get damaged being delivered. Wings are a collection only item!
Again for rear wings, if you dont want to spend on oval, use genuine 60's and get the split light inserts from Wolfparts, or you could use the good new repro rears if you really want and do the same.
Repro rear wings are better than they used to be, but you still want to see them before you buy. With repro wings you need to feel round the rolled edges as sometimes they are really badly pressed and look awful!
If you can wait til Stanford Hall get a look there at some real split/oval and 60's wings on cars in the Historic display and you can see the differences for yourself before committing.
I am sure there will be some for sale at Stanford too.
(All this is assuming you dont want to pay a fortune for split wings)
I think later on you will really regret painting cheap/repro wings for your 49.
