Ah, I see.
The 444 was replaced by the 544. The 444 went through several changes during its production, including engines and transmissions, wheel bolt patterns, wheel sizes, trim placement, etc. The later 444 used the same engine as the early 544; then the 544 became 12 volt and began using the B18 in '62.
The dashboards are quite different - the 444 dash is a metal piece that's welded into the car, unlike the covered removeable one in the 544. Gauges were different, different ashtray, glove box door and - per the original subject - the radio delete plate is different.
Both are terrific cars. As is the Amazon.
Best,
