Most accessories could either be ordered from the factory or dealer installed. The main and underseat heater are items that could be dealer installed. 51-4 Instructions are in the service manual accessory section and was also usually shipped on a separate sheet or two of paper along with the accessory. 51-3 heater units were essentially identical except for minor trim detail for the models and 54 used the same basic components with the main difference being the different style control levers. 51-3 had two levers with shared functions and 54 had the 4 individual levers, one for each function which were also used with 55-6 models.

On the clamps, since heaters could be dealer installed yours could very well be original, Nothing said a dealer had to use a factory item on something like that or even follow factory instructions for that matter. An example is some have found cars with some interesting switch placements which do not exactly follow factory instructions.

53-4 factory AC was only available when the car was built but 55-6 units could also be dealer installed.
