If you're referring to the continental style console(the one w/no front legs) yes that does sound like a seperation repair but some of the early ones were bolted differently so I wouldn't say so for sure. Were there bolt heads in the front or screws? As far as anything else, you might check the bottom row of plate screws/bolts whatever it has, in fact check all of the perimeter screws and the nose bolts (if there are any) you may find several more loose ones.
