If 12v, then definitely use a 12v solenoid! Otherwise it would likely have a short life with twice the voltage than it was designed to handle. The starter should be rewound for 12v too as the higher impact of the gear to the flywheel could damage one or the other.
I have no idea what was done to the starter in the past. When the car was originally restored years (decades?) ago it was converted to 12V then. The solenoid "looks" original to me, but I may just be full of it. It does have a cap that unscrews with a button underneath to toggle the solenoid directly, if that means anything.
