The way to do it is by the design changes timing, and you can find a copy of that in Wikipedia under Sheridan airgun history.

In the pics that you show, the assembled gun appears to have a screw holding the rear sight to the barrel. If so, that was introduced in May 1956 and discontinued in 61. So that alone narrows you down to those years.
The trigger guard changed in 60, and the lower comb stock in 59.
So now you're between 56 and 59, on the assembled gun.
Only one change left to narrow that one down!
Does it have the hole in the right side of the receiver? That was discontinued late in 1956.
If it doesn't have that hole, it could be a late 56, but more likley a 58, or 59.

It appears to be a '57 or 58, then. No hole on the receiver, so after 56. Slim trigger guard held with screws.In the pics that you show, the assembled gun appears to have a screw holding the rear sight to the barrel.
