hood latches

I have a pair of original hood shelves for a low radiator car. Instead of the hole in the top face at the front end for the headlight wiring grommet, they gave a cut-out in the outside edge to allow the wiring to get to the headlights. This makes them early items.
The hood latches are of a different shape, more like the early cast items, but they are of stamped steel just like the later ones. Can anyone enlighten me on when the change was made?
