According to Sports Collectors Daily:

This would seem to indicate the box on REA was from 1950. Of course, that was just me looking on the Internet for 5 minutes. The experts at REA and elsewhere almost certainly know something I don't. I'd love to hear the evidence which points to the box being from 1949.
