I have a 51 as well. Somewhere, I was told that the 51 should have the 3100 below the Chevrolet on the hood. But yours and every one I see on eBay has just the Chevrolet, so I now believe that mine is as it came from the factory.
You are probably correct. GM documentation states that the 3100 was below the Chevrolet on 49 through 51 models, and the 3100 was dropped in 52. However, there is a lot of evidence from many original 51's that the changeover took place sometime in the 51 model year production for the reasons given by R. Wyant.
