Well, it's definately a '57 - that's the one year it was listed as a W300 - without the M.
On my '42 with 230, the grill/brush guard sits flush with the front of the radiator cowl.
On his '57, there is a small additional metal piece that the grill/brush guard is attached to - a sort of extension - so the front radiator cowl assembly is essentially 5 pieces of sheet metal and the grill, while mine is 3 pieces of sheet metal and the grill.
I thought the extension was to accomodate the additional length of the 251?
