Does anyone make the early 1950 M38 repro data plates?

Both outfits have only the 1951-1952 plates that won't work on my 1950.

Willys M38's came with two dash serial plates that only used the year of manufacture (NO MONTH). 1950 and first quarter 1951.

1950

1951 Jan/Feb

1951 Jan/Feb

At the end of February 1951 the Data plate changed to show the month/year delivery.

George comes through!

Wes I have an original 1950 plate.
The one in the photo is a little blurred.
Do you want me to get a clear photo of
mine for your files?

Take care,
