I found a 1639 652 that was used on 57-58 Std Steering box mounts (see below) and also on the 1960 Mopars. However, there is no indication that this is two-part "swivel washer" like that shown below:

I was under my 56 Dodge today and looked up and saw a wedge "washer" under one end of the PS box mount (nothing at the other end). I presume that the wedge is used to make some adjustment.
