Tim is correct, according to someone else on the board, these were for the 1947/52 suburban 53 was different and 1954/55 were another design. I have never seen the 1953 style, so I cannot confirm the differences. I have seen the others. Mike at oldtrucks might be able to help.

My 49' has the straight style locks that catch on the stainless trim tab to lock the window.
I purchased some from Jim Carters last year that did match my og locks.

These have bends on the top where they would catch the trim or window...
I always assumed they were for the later 55-59 burbs but found that the mounting screws are in a different location
