I think the difference is the 54-55 have a indent/holes in the lower front portion to create clearance for the 54-55 grille.
here is a google search photo of a 54-55 fender with the said indent...

here is a scetch of each from LMCTrucks.com

In the picture if you look at the opening for the grill by the headlight the metal is curved from vertical to horizontal. The 53 and earlier there is a 90 degree at that spot. They will bolt to the cab the exact same but the grills are not a direct bolt on.
