Hi Tom,
These seats with the curved backs and wood side trim were standard on bent-window cars through at least coupe chassis number 50097. They switched to the standard straight-back seats without the curved wood side trim at least by 50106. So Jan 1953 onward. And these seats were used through 1957.
