I have a '54 hood on a '49 truck. There is no reason why the reverse would not work.
The only difference I could find between the two hoods is where the holes for the front hood badge. The holes are in the same place on both hoods.
The '49 hood holes are recessed a bit, while the '54 hood holes are flush. I believe that either of the front hood badges will bolt on to either hood. I am not sure why they changed the holes from recessed to flush. I went with the '54 badge which was on the hood when I got it.
