The 1983 Imperials came with the white / clear centres. It is the only style listed in the 1983 parts catalogue. I have a 1983 Imperial with the white / clear centres with "IMPERIAL" in the plastic. I am the third owner - the second owner purchased it in 1986. The 1981 and 1982 Imperials came with the red centres.
