When I used to offer Service Counselor reprints through the Packard Club's Projects under my old Packards California business name, I remember seeing that modification. The earlier louvers were considerably narrower than the actual 1954 louver though so even with the two cut off, it was an obvious modification.

On the clear tubes, I presume you mean for the rear shelf? If so, I am not sure it was ever a change as much as that dealers would retrofit cars if owners wanted. I have nothing to confirm one way or the other so am basing it only on observation.
