The radio dial face should be the same shade as the instruments. In Clippers a dark sort of gunmetal color with white or maybe siver numerals and on Packards a light almost silver face with gold numerals. On Clippers the signal seekers had a bright chrome finish and buttons with lines that were in a fairly coarse pattern. The Packard signal seeker finish and buttons were more of a brushed chrome finish and the lines were very fine and close together.
Dash bezels also followed that styling regimen if any of yours need replacing. While they all had the same shape and names and will fit either line, the Clipper bezels had a bright chrome finish including the flat face where the lettering was placed. Packards had a more two tone effect with a duller brushed chrome finish only on the flat face part of the bezel.
