After some IND numbers started showing up in PWs I was checking, I started to research IND motors, and buy parts books, etc off E-bay.
So far the books I have do not break down the year for me, or anything else really.
Here are a couple examples of the plates:

The best bet to check year is a date cast into the block near the distributor.
Let me know if I can be of any further help.
