The spotlights on the Merc are Appletons. They were standard on all customs in the 1940's and early 50's. The GM versions were Unity spotlights, the same as used on cop cars for decades. These links might prove interesting or helpful:

Any idea as to whether they were 5 or 6 inch spot lights? Or 4x6?

I don’t know how the Appleton’s were measured. As far as Unity, the lamps on my truck are 6”:





Sorry the only clear shot I have of a 5” spotlight isn’t on a GM truck:
