Scheduled brake test that results in a brake test date stenciled on the brake cylinder

What was the required brake test schedule that would result in a revised brake test date being stenciled on the brake cylinder for a tank car built in 1949?
Thank you for any assistance. David Turner

Others may have Interchange Rule book closer to 1949, but the rules effective 1-1-53 Revised 1952 show the interval at 15 months. Tom Birkett, Bartlesville, OK Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S® 6, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone

As I understand it (which is not well), the brake-service interval from ~1934 forward depended on whether you are talking about AB or K brakes. See Tony's blog which utilizes Guy Wilbur as a reference:
