Question 1956 data plate attachment method ???

I am trying to figure out how ford truck data plates were attached at the factory, in 1956. I've seen photos showing data plates using screws and others using rivets ????????

They came fastened with 4 Philip head screws, after painting my trucks I used pop rivets to refasten it..

I concur, the data plate was attached with 4 Phillips head screws. I have a 30K mile unrestored 56 F100 that I bought 10 years ago from the original owner's family. Interior and door jambs are untouched. Data plate is screwed in.
