Could you help me comprehend the difference , if any, between the two? I looked up the net and found both usages. I am unsure though. Are both correct? Do the convey the same meaning?

"On" sounds better to me, although both are possible and similar in meaning. My guess is that "on" is simply the more frequent of the two.
EDIT: I checked it out at view.byu.edu, which confirmed that "on" is much more frequent than "upon" after dawned, having frequencies of 64 occurrences and 4 occurrences per million, respectively.

Upon is a little fancier but it's the same

I don't think it matters. They both convey the same idea to me.
