There are basically 4 AD type 3000 series fenders.
The 47/53 Chevy fender
the 47/53 GMC fender that has a hole in front for the park light.

The 54 Chevy fender that has a rounded opening for the grill and the
54 GMC that has the square cut opening like the 47/53 fenders but has and indent for the park light.

Yellow one is a 54 fender that I sent to a kid in Phoenix.

Copper one is a 54 GMC that I have hanging in the shed. It came with a galvanized patch pop riveted over the indent for the park light as someone had it on a 47/53 truck.
Those are the easy ones, you also have to watch for guys trying to pass off 4000 series fenders as 3000 series.
