MG is right, but not MGA.
"1950's" is a bit too vague though!

I think this is one of the proposals for the new TF put forward by Gerald Palmer in '53/54, and obviously, the more traditional variant was chosen. There also was a variant with more tradional wings on the same base. See 'Thoroughbred & Classic Cars', issue 09/1977

This is a rear quarter view of the same car, the second variant you just posted. Of course Palmer's main opus was the MG Magnette Saloon and its variants, but after falling out with the Boss of BMC, Len Lord, he left and went to Vauxhall.
