Grill question

[THE AMERICAN GARAGE]

HEY PEEPS! I AM FAIRLY NEW TO THE BOARDS AND HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE GRILL ON THE '53 GMC PICK-UP I BOUGHT BACK IN NOV.

PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THE TIME WHEN LOOKING AT '53 GMC GRILLS THEY ALL LOOK LIKE THIS:



ASIDE FROM THE FRAMED OUT AREA AROUND THE GRILL ITSELF HOLDING THE "GMC" TAG, ALL OF THE GRILLS I COMMONLY SEE HAVE VERT SIDE COLUMNS AND FOUR HORIZ BLADES.

NOW COMES MY QUESTION...BASED ON THE PICTURES OF MY OWN GRILL BELOW, WAS MY GRILL SOME KIND OF ODDBALL OPTION DONE IN CHROME?
YOU'LL NOTICE THAT IT IS ONLY 3 HORIZ BLADES ENCASED IN AND SET BACK FROM A PUSHED OUT FRAME WITHIN THE OUTER FRAME CARRYING THE NAMEPLATE. FOLLOW?







THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY ANSWERS!
