WS52 is far too big and heavy for those mountings (as is the WS9 that preceded it). I seem to remember helping to load a WS52 into someone's car after an auction that they won - it took 6 of us to lift the beast!
The mis-connected co-ax is on a par with the aerial lead that goes to the left hand side of the carrier instead of to the variometer mounting plate and the socket on that. I assume the photographer was using his artistic licence.
(More likely that there was nobody present with knowledge of the set.)
Chris.
