Has anyone nailed down the year the trucks started coming with the channel vs. the plate to go under the spinner on the spare?

My 53 has the U channel. But who could tell if it is original to the truck.

The round plate was a holdover from the WW2 WC's. When stock was depleted, Chrysler went to the channel.
