Seems that you may have mixed years of dash controls or maybe a transition car. The green bible calls out the following gear shift ball colors. '49-White (8A 7213), '50-Ivory (0A 7213-A), '51-'53-Black (0A 7213-B). No info. on thread size/pitch.
* Dash knobs on all '49s I've had or seen are round chrome, (8A 17513-B), however the bible lists a plastic knob, (8A 17573-A), no color specified, for base(?) car, '50 Deluxe was Ivory with depressed center, (0A 17513-A), '50 Custom Deluxe added a chrome plated insert to center, (0A 17513-B), the '50 Crestliner knob was Black with depressed center and the chrome plated insert, (0A 17513-C).
* I looked up the wiper control knob as reference.
Hope this helps and the book is correct.
