Packard wouldn't have made some "Design Improvements" in 53 that would have moved bolt holes around would they?
Not sure exactly what you mean by the question. Don't believe any main mounting bolts moved but they did change molding shapes over the years and thus the hole locations for those changes. Different strip locations for 51-53 cars and of course 54 had changes as well. I believe those year design changes would also apply to Henney bodies.
Here is a illustration they provided for dealers showing the different layouts. SC Vol 27#2 advised that service replacement fender stock would be simplified to only a single right and left fender. Those would come undrilled with paint marks in the locations shown so dealers would drill their own holes for various year moldings.
