part numbers, they do not always reflect the factory-installed part numbers that were used on the production line. ...
most certainly later production was substituted when parts were quite similar but not identical, and that relates to the AD owners frustration with reproduction parts, as mentioned by Tim above .... the repro folks have a single part in good enough condition to use as a pattern, and that part is one of many thousands similar produced over a period of 9 years, no telling how close it was to the same part for other years or how well that mint 1950 part would fit your 1947 or 1954 truck
