Help With Radio Install

I am having a few issues and am wondering if I am missing something.
I went to install this radio...

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

once you pull the knobs off the distance between the shafts are different than the uncut dash on the 56. I can slot the holes to get the radio to fit but once I do that the slotted holes will be to large for the knob collar to hide. Is this radio supposed to have a faceplate ?

While I have an early Big-M in my Oval...

Many moons ago I had a '64 that had that exact radio that I yanked from an oval & yes, it had a very similar, if not the exact same face, as the example shown above...

I might even have an actual photograph of it somewhere but I would seriously have to dig for it...
