The Feb '53 coupe (50143) has a 54 drivers door and an original passenger door.
The goal is to have both window winders with the correct knobs
Dr. Johnsons book suggests (if I read it correctly) that the 50-53 window winders were the same as split Beetles.
All references I have found on line show split Beetle window winder knobs to look like this:
The passenger door winder - which I believe to be both original and correct, looks like this:
The drivers side winder, which I believe to be correct for 54 and later looks like this:
Would I be correct in assuming that the passengerdoor winder (second pic) is correct for this car?

Yes, the 2nd pic is the correct winder. Together with the 'crown" rear pop.out mechanisms
