As I recall, the VT52 stand is smaller than you'd expect because the pan holds only
the main body of the display: the four feet (two at the back and two near the back edge of
that mesh panel) drop into the pan at its four corners. The keyboard section of the VT5x
simply extends forward from the stand pan.
On the other hand, a VT100 needs a large pan because the keyboard is a separate part, and
it too sits on the stand. So I suspect the stand shown by BM is a VT100 stand, not a VT52
stand.

Thanks for the info! I can check the bottom of a
VT52 to see what's
there at those dimensions - feet or any corner/edge features. Anyone
have a photo handy of the bottom of a VT52? With a scale ruler? I
can take one but it'll be a week or two until I'm in the right place.
