Is the Blaupunkt A51L radio correct for pre-A ?

It certainly will fit.

Are you asking whether they were installed by the factory? That I don't know. There were some Blaupunkt A51EM radios installed in cars in July 1953, but by-and-large Porsche used Telefunken radios early on. By late 1953 and 1954 they were using a mix of Telefunkens and the new Blaupunkt A 453, which was a universal-sized radio with an adapter plate and speaker to fit in the Porsche and early VWs.
