I believe it is wider, also the badging is all different

I also think that the '55 and '56 trim holes are in a little different location, on the front fenders, and I'm certain they are on the doors.

All hole locations for trim fasteners are in different locations on front doors and front fenders between the 55 and 56 Fairlane models. I am pretty certain that there is not one fastener that is interchangeable between the two years due to the different trim widths
