As you noted the 5 ton fender is longer on the M39 and M809 series truck from the Duece !! That is because the frame is slightly longer and the suspension is heavier !! also the Hood is longer on the M809 Series truck from the M39 !! The hood on a M39 should fit a Duece !!
If you go with the 395 85 R 20's then you can sell the 6 1100 R20's !! It does not matter what others think !! It is your truck and do with it what you want !! Welcome aboard !!
Check with m1075 he has a couple trailers that are for sale !! He has both M871's and M872 trailers !! I am sure he can set you up !!! The M871 are much shorter then the M872 and there is a carrying capacity difference as well. I agree with M1075 the M872 looks much better on the M915...

If your air cleaner is on the right it is a M39 Series 5 Ton . As M813rc has shown in the photos is the difference between the M39 Series and M809 series trucks !! Your truck at some point may have had the data plate changed !! All of the M52 model truck has a Flat grille similar to the M35A2...

Just make sure that the glad hand you put on the service air hookup has the pressure relief valve on it so it does not cause problems for your brake system !!
