I'm not sure if it used a delete plate or the chrome panel didn't have the slots.. I have never seen a '51 without a heater so IDK what was used originally, only know that heaters were all optional.. Standard equipment on Deluxe cars ( yours being a 2dr ht is likely a Deluxe ) but they could be excluded from the deluxe option package if it was ordered that way. same with radio's

The chrome speaker grille I bought does not have the heater controls.

I was thinking about buying this but I think the dash is welded in from the factory....not sure....gotta look...

there welded in.. but that would look pretty sweet in your car, even tho I'm more partial to the factory speaker grille, that 1 doesn't look too bad.. I don't see the clock delete plate from the top, so it's likely it's had a little metal work there too
