Light Bulb Minutia Question

I was replace the license plate light bulbs in my 54 Oldsmobile. The markings are gone. Does anyone know the number for that bulb?

I was also replacing a backup light bulbs. One side was a #1073 and the other was a #1156.
I think the wattage on each is:
  • 1073= 23 watts
  • 1156= 26.6 (26.9) watts
When replacing all the dash light bulbs, including indicator lights some were #53 and others were #57

Does anyone have the spec replacement numbers for these bulbs. They doesn't seem to be any discernable difference between them but it would be nice to know what the correct spec bulbs were for each of these applications.

Too funny....as I was politely and privately asked, "have you looked in the manual". No I had not. So here is the answer to my questions in the attached photos
