Below is a screen grab of a dash panel with the original radio openings (center rectangle and 2 close in Control knob holes). Your dash got modified at some point. An original radio would have filled the center rectangle and 2 closer holes that center on the middle opening.
Is the radio displayed in the picture the one you intend to use?
