From those pictures it's impossible to tell if it was an F5 or F6, the 2 speed rear was more common in the F6 but was available in both the F5 and the F6. If all you have is that picture you will not get an accurate answer. The hood trim appears to be 1951, but that doesn't mean that it was the original hood.

One of the round handled levers under the dash was the cowl air vent, the other was probably the axle shift, if it didn't have a button on the dash.
I'll speculate that it's a F-6. Just because...........
