If the designation had been decided as, and the first ones actually marked as LP52, then all would have remained as LP52
I'm afraid its no more than a good myth, and some clever fakers who have made them for what ever their reasoning, may be mischief, or profit.
Some years ago I met an elderly man at the Ulm Schutzengilde who had worked on the LP 53's He was adamant there were no LP52's, but he said what is true, is that there were a very small number of pre production ones with no designation at all, and they are genuine if any come to light.
