It is possible for the reasons Arran mentioned. However I remain skeptical on this particular one. Notice how the speaker screws have been overtightened to the point that the screw heads have been pulled into the veneer? Someone's had their ham-handed mitts on this poor thing, and did it no favors by doing that. The same person could very well have added that 51/52/early 60 and 38 escutcheon to a cabinet that may have had no escutcheon when they acquired it.
