From 47-52, the control cable controlled defrost vs downward/floor heat.
I had mentioned in a past Post that if you took the front cover and door portion of the 53-55 "Fresh Air" heater.
And put it on the front of the 47-52 Air Flow heater.

You would kinda have a hybrid heater with 2 control cables.
The 47-52 Air Flow heater control cable, directs ether defrost or floor air.
The 53-55 "Fresh Air" heater control cable, controls whether it recirculates Cab air or brings in fresh air.

I'm almost 100% positive the 2 front covers have the same footprint.
Put this front cover pic 1 & pic 2 on the body of this heater.

You would have to slightly modify the control cable attaching post to accommodate 2 cables.
Then find a spot to mount the 2nd cable knob, next to the original knob.

Hey, Deve nice mod on the Heater switch.
Resistors in the air flow.
