Also, I'm pretty sure the Agent Carter series hints at why SHIELD was founded three years after the one shot. Howard Stark was occupied with the hearings, so SHIELD had to be out on hold and Peggy went back to the SSR. That was the reasoning us fans gave to justify its on-screen date happening in the same year as season 1, but there was never anything concrete in the show aside from one 1-second clip in a montage of Peggy's exploits.

It taking place in 1949 makes much more sense, and is a simple enough retcon, just like Vision claiming in Civil War that Tony's been Iron Man for 8 years, when this official timeline (and I think our own as well) both maintain that Tony's only been Iron Man for 6 years by the time of Vision's statement.
