The bowtie & V/botwie on the '60-'61 Chevy trucks and the V6 emblems on the '60-'62 GMC trucks, otherwise, not other other hood ornaments were installed from the factory.

The 55 to 58 birds have the pointed nose, while the later one has an air intake nose-like an F84 if you know your 50's era jets. (I suppose it could look like a MiG 15 nose too, but I doubt that was what they were going for:))
