That does not match original factory codes for 1952, but enough parts makes it look like some sort of replacement code?
Here are 1952 "serial number" codes.

Can you post a photo of the ID plate?

Can you post the engine serial number that is pressed into the block to rear of the distributor. (a photo, if possible).

Post the block/head casting codes and date codes.

The 216 and early 235 engines are not "splash oilers" -- this is a splash oiler.
