Default identifying a radio please

hi guys!
my name is palle johansen..i live in denmark!
i am restoring an old custom called the jack stewart ford. i know this is not the custom car board, but i figured you guys where the best to ask.
the dash that is shown on the photo from 1951, was modifyed..i found another one though.
but my question is: could anyone identify the radio that is in the car..i searched, but i wanna be sure, before i buy a radio.
thanks in advance
palle

Hard to tell without better pic but looks to me like a 1951 Ford radio they had black knobs and black push buttons.
