The 5-leg stand seems correct to me, the vertical standing pipe
(painted black) seems also OK to me. However, the tray is a different
story. But I have to admit, that my reference is only the VT55-FB on a
roll-around stand. If the stand for the VT55-FB is identical to the
one for the VT52, then the tray is not the original one.
It is not a tray, but just a plate and significantly smaller, but not flat.
Yes, that sounds familiar now. The feed stick through holes in the tray/plate, so no rim
is needed to position the terminal correctly. The bolts are for security, in case you
lean too hard on the keyboard. The terminal is well enough balanced it will sit on the
stand without them.
Cool, that means duplicating it would be fairly easy, because the stand top can just be a
flat top (metal or plywood) with holes drilled in it for the terminal feet.
I would expect the VT55 and VT52 (and several others) to share a stand model since they
all have the same case.

I believe
these stands to be authentic DEC VT5X stands. Is there any way
of telling for sure? There are no markings on the stands.
I can't be certain, but the height and the appearance suggest to me
that they are.
