Looking at the Korean War cards in it, that would support an earlier-than-1953 release date as well. They don't mention anything after Chosin Reservoir, which wrapped up in mid-December 1950. My guess is the cards were in production during the UN offensives (and subsequent Chinese counteroffensive) in 1951, so those didn't make it into the set.
