does anyone know if these were produced in the early cage? In this color 

I’ve seen some produced in 50 with a different cage

 Any thing is possible in the 1949-1950 years. Using up old supplies before actually making the new ones, common practice with all manufacturers. I’ve had a much lighter blue/gray 12” with the early style cage & red badge. I’ve not seen that color you posted on anything in person.
