Oh wow....
Interior reminds me of my parents' fridge when I was a kid. It was a GE with lower freezer (door was pedal operated) and upper fridge. My parent's unit was not as modernly styled, and it may have been purchased as early as 1954 (when they got their first apt) or maybe in 1956 (when they rented their first house). They bought a house in 1958, but the fridge's styling was too old fashioned to be a 1958 model. It had a door with rounded/streamlined edges and a chrome door latch, whereas the model for sale is square and boxy, with linear handles on the sides of the doors, a basic design which persevered for decades.
Our fridge had the same revolving half-circle shelves, mounted on a center support post. The trapezoid-shaped button on the shelf next to the post allowed the user to adjust shelf height to one's own preference.

This is identical to mine. Looks to be in very good condition!

It was the same situation with that way overpriced turquoise left-hinged '57 that was on SF CL a while back.
I'm feeling fortunate that Andy snagged me one that happened to still have its retainer intact.
Who knows? Maybe the subject fridge here has the piece stuck away somewhere. I'd do my damndest to come up with a retrofit if mine broke. Definitely the weakest spot on these models.
