Parts carry over from previous year.

I was trying to figure out what the push/pull switch is for that is on the left of the light switch on my '54 Clipper Super. I believe it was for the electric antenna. But during my search of the owners manual(s), I noticed that I have the '53 dash cluster. The three round gauges. But the heater/vent controls are '54 style. The vin on this car is 5462-6754 and it does have the '54 tail lights.

Would they carry over parts that far into production? Or has this been replaced sometime in the past?
