The first Dual Professionals introduced in '46 had 8-string necks and rectangular "box" string-through pickups. The asymmetrical string-through pickups like your guitar has showed up in '49, which may have also been the first year for the dual six model. The Dual Pros ran consecutively for a year or two with the Stringmaster steels that were introduced in '53. So, guitars like yours were made roughly from '49 to '55. (Most of this info came from the book Fender: The Golden Age 1946-1970)

Agreed. Very cool console!

Hey William, what are you using for tunings on the two necks?
