Part of the 1947-55 New Design truck line indeed, but the IMCDb doesn't use that "detail for the Suburbans.
1947-51 door handle but 1951+ vent window indicate a 1951 only model:

This scene was based on the assault of CBS Camerman, Laurens Pierce who was bashed by KKK member and one of men involved, Alton Wayne Roberts.

In reality, Pierce's assault occurred on the 27th January 1965 during the trial outside the Federal Courthouse in Merdian, Mississippi.
