That's a 1955.2 or 56 plate that's been modified to include space for the Serial No at the bottom and having the GVW weight left blank for hand stamping. The 265 engine was introduced with the 1955 Second Series and those trucks had a separate Serial Number plate welded to the windshield post with the Data Plate riveted down low on the door post.

Your Hex/Clutch Head Screws would be correct with this 1942-46 plate
