Super Clipper correct? The 3 hole gauges and seat frame are completely different than on my car ('54 Deluxe).

So for brakes and a few other parts, your car has more in common with the 1953 Clippers then it does the 1954 Clipper Deluxes and Specials.

If you check the STB/Trade Letters here on the website there are a couple of notes in regards to this. Basically they used '53 brakes and dash clusters on the '54 Supers for some odd reason. Also you rim size is different that the other '54 Juniors. I learned this the hard way.
