Does anyone know if the BOCA code included a 15psf partition load requirement in the early 1950s? I only have access to a 1975 BOCA code, which does have the provision. Thank you in advance.

Check to wording to see that it does apply to 'fixed' partitions.
My drawing notes:
PARTITIONS SHALL BE FIXED AND PARTITION LOADING IS PREDICATED ON ACTUAL PARTITION LAYOUT SHOWN. ENGINEERING REVIEW REQUIRED TO MODIFY PARTITION LAYOUT
FIXED PARTITIONS 5 PSF
MOVABLE PARTITIONS 20 PSF
I often use 65 psf for design live load
