If not, I still have the 60s Blaupunkt that was installed in the car when I bought it.  Judging by date on the radio, it was installed near purchase date.  Don't know if the dealers installed Blaupunkts or not.  That swirl logo is British Leyland.  I think that radio is for a different car with the wrong manual.  Just my two cents
Others can weigh in (Mike Cook would know), but, IIRC, but it was around 
late `67-early `68 that British Leyland finally folded Triumph into its 
operations.  Rebadging of parts, cars and promotional materials probably 
would not have occurred until then, thus making this radio something 
that postdates the absorption of Standard-Triumph by B-L.

Additionally, I don't think S-T offered a factory radio in 1962. There 
was a dealer-installed option, the Triumph-Bendix R2BT4 (the "2" in that 
model number indicating the model year):

Pretty clearly shows the old logo for that year.


Cheers.
