I don’t think so. Only color in ’54 was green. ID plate would help and picture of front cover.
October 23, 2019 at 9:52 am #185782Mark 50 were green and some have a silver leg. Looks to me like that baby is a little newer maybe 1957. No shock absorbers so is pre ’58. Need some numbers, then go to this site that should tell you what you need to know.

October 23, 2019 at 1:09 pm #185802I don’t know anything about Mercs but I have this ad for a ’55 40 HP Mark 55E that has the same graphics as that one.
October 23, 2019 at 6:23 pm #185810It does appear to be a Mark 50 as it does not have the “Dyna Float” motor mounts that were introduced on 1955 Mark 55.

(770) 597-5992October 23, 2019 at 7:47 pm #185813if you look at the mercury decal, I see green edging on it. it may have been a repaint.
October 24, 2019 at 7:37 pm #185847Show us a picture of the face plate of the motor. How about the plate itself? I’m betting it’s a 1955 mark 55.
October 24, 2019 at 7:55 pm #185850mark 50 did not have a decal. mark 55 had them that decal is for a 1955. but who knows what has been changed over 65 + years. BUT the exhaust snout is brass not cast so the tower is a mark 50. need serial ###### to tell for sure.
