To answer your question, the glass bowl pumps became a standard factory installation very late in the 1946 model year.
I agree with Mike about what's commonly called "The Green Bible". Perhaps the term Bible is misleading itself, as that suggests everything you read in it is golden. NOT. The Green Book only tells you what was available when the book was published, not what your car had as original.

Original equipment should be found in the Chassis Parts and Accessories closest to the year of your car, and sometimes even that first book is incorrect, the correction being made in the book immediately following.

EDIT: Forgive me for any sharp readers who see a dual meaning, the Pun was not intentional.
