GMC vs Chevy Chrome Knobs 55-59?

Just wondering, I have threw the years collected an assortment
of Chrome Dash knobs and i have some vent cables with a V stamped
in them and then other vent cables with out the V ,also have a T for Throttle
and a W for wiper, are these lettered knobs from a GMC only or did some Chevy trucks have them and some not?
I know i have seen GMC trucks with White plastic knobs vs the Chevy black knobs.

My 56 Chevy stepside has the non lettered white knobs. It's the Canadian model though.
