Looks like it was just one universal mat version produced for both rhd and lhd (or maybe more correctly 'rh cargo doors or lh cargo doors')
However, each mat looks like it was then hand-snipped on the cargo door side, front and rear corners, to accommodate the b-post and c-post. Ie a small rectangular section removed front & rear.
The c-post cut-out is longer than the b-post cut-out. The square strengthening ribs on the back finish early (different front & back) to allow for these cuts. And I guess this fade-out detail is mirrored on the opposite side (just not been cut-out).
It also looks like the cargo mats were hand-snipped on the rear edge, 2 straight cuts, to allow for the 2 heater log uprights.
So a repro mat could be made universal, with the purchaser to make the appropriate snips to match their bus' cargo door position.
For the record, the 4 small middle leg fixing holes on the BD mat look handcut too.
The part number seems to be found front middle, or rear middle. I'm thinking this variation is down to the manufacturer (Phoenix, Continental, or Fisco?) placement, as opposed to a 180 degree rotation of the mat.
Very little difference with a later cargo mat...which just has 4 larger (machine cut) holes for the middle seat fixing...and a different part number (221...)?
Feel free to verify/correct the above |

This is true for the front.
I think he might have been asking about the rear?
I think the '53 rear is generally the same as 54-55 but I cannot say with certainty.
I have seen the 54-55 style cargo mat in a '53 but I am not sure it was original or if it is 100% exactly the same. (Or if 100% the same even matters)
RockStock posted above the rear is the same for 52-55.

I'd be in for a front and rear mat if you make RHD versions.
