Your pictures raise another question, which at this late date may no longer be answerable: Which of the several Redstone/Jupiter steel launch tables (which are at the KSC "Rocket Garden," the nearby Cape Canaveral Air Force Station museum at LC-5/6 and LC-26A & B, the Alabama Space and Rocket Center, and the U.S. Army's Redstone Arsenal musem)--if any of them--were the actual ones that were used to launch Explorer 1, Mercury-Redstone 3 & 4, and Pioneer 3 and 4? (I contacted all of these places last year, but no one knew.)

You're very welcome !
As for the launch tables, I have no clue. It's possible the were identical, but maybe not.
Another thing to consider is that is a display and the "wrong" launch table could have been used, or not.
The pics below are JUNO, JUPITER, and MERCURY REDSTONE.
