Thanks Ken, and EssexAdv.
I suspected they'd be pretty close to the same, if not exact. The outer skin above the wheel well was the piece of particular interest. The reason I was contemplating this possibility is because I have a '53 to restore, and a '49 that I'm trying to decide if I should part out or sell off whole. It dawned on me one day that I may have had some of the body parts I will need right under my nose all along!
Perhaps I'll look for some good '53 panels though, as I probably wouldn't be able to bring myself to wreck that '49 and deprive the world of yet another irreplaceable Hudson anyway.

LI am sure you could trade good 49 quarters which fiit 3 years for the 52/53 quarters that fit only two years of production. dont try using one on the other. the rear bumper cutouts make it highly difficult. IL have tried it. Bill Albright 33 year Hudson restorer0
