What is the difference between radio chrome panels pn 1299913 and 1247804?

Need correct one for my P17 2dr sdn.   Thanks

Part # ending in 913 shows in the 49 Ply. parts book and the other 804 comes up in the 50 parts book.

I know that on it's own does not answer your question but I noticed some dash panels had mounting Holes to retain the ratio grille and some had welding in threaded nuts and the grill was counter sunk for four mounting Screws which is what I have/had on two 1950 Plymouths. So was the grille with holes and threaded studs for mounting from behind  a 1949 Plymouth?  Maybe only the earliest made late type 49 Plymouths style?

The other thing I have seen was the radio grille color. Most I have seen have a greenish tint on them. Others were a flat black or just a natural metal color. I have seen that some of the gauges themselves have a greenish tint to the faces and some are a flat black. When were the colors changed?  I do Not know or why. Seems the Chrysler did many Minor changes between 49 and 50 and some may have been supplier changes as Plymouths were selling fast after war!

Good car and power, mileage , Price, many features compared to competitors!
