Zach - Sounds like an early SM alright.
You can get an approximate build date by noting the date codes on major castings like the block, head, transmission case, axle housings, etc. Date codes show the day/month/year the part was poured at the foundry. Generally (but not always...) a tractor was assembled within a 6 - 8 weeks of the dates showing on the castings.
For an early Super M date codes will look like this: aa-bb-X, where
aa = the day number bb = the month number X = 1952
Report back what appears on yours!

The holes in the grille sheetmetal could mean the grille used on yours was one left over from the last production run of the M.
Or perhaps somewhere during your SM's 57+ years of service the original grille got beat-up and a replacement swapped in from a boneyard M.
