No. The 3 speaker system is stereo. The stereo radios have a left and right channels with a knob to adjust balance, also with 3 speaker wires coming out of the radio. An AM radio has 2 speaker wires coming out the radio.
Is it possible a worker made a mistake and put on a 3 speaker dash pad with an AM radio? Well yes anything is possible.

You could get an AM radio with a front and rear speaker

This might just muddy the water....I "thought" that convertibles (at least b-body) got 3 speakers... BUT my car is coded for AM/8-track, so maybe I was wrong. I've never heard 3 speakers = am/fm or am/8-track

Has anybody ever seen a 3 speaker dash on a car that came with an AM radio?
In an E body? ALL THE TIME I've seen 3 speaker with an AM I've seen 1 speaker with an AM/FM I've seen AC pad in a non H51 car I've seen 70 pad in a 71 I've seen 71 pad in a 70 I've seen a black 71 pad in a burnt orange interior car I've seen Barracuda pads in Challengers and the other way around. I've seen a /6 pad in a 440 SIXPACK car Face it. These pads failed early and often and were changed out with the next best pad that fit. I have NEVER seen a car with a factory incorrect installed pad. Think about it! The dash assembly is done all at once. If you use the wrong pad the parts won't work out. Much harder to mess up than a torque box.

....OK so they are not SUPPOSED to come with a 3 speaker dashpad.
But, given some oddities when it comes to mopars, like missing torque boxes on HEMI cars, or HEMI fenders on cars that were not supposed to get em, etc.
Has anybody ever seen a 3 speaker dash on a car that came with an AM radio? Nope, and I've owned over 30 e-bodies since 1978.

The IP line would be set up for the build of the dashes and all the components and would be a sub assembly line with high senority. Likely you would work off the broadcast sheet for assembly and that is why the sheet would be on the back of the glove box.
Hemi Torque Boxes being put on some E Bodies that do not take them and some that should have them and don't is easy to understand if you have ever worked in an Automotive Plant. The Body shop is for newbies and low seniority so just keeping up with the extra parts going on like Torque Boxes and understanding the Build Sheet when you have just started would be common. Usually three days of training or less and you have to use two or more spot welders on every vehicle or chassie. Now you relying on an inspector that is ticked at you screwing up and is sick of doing your job and lets things go and just does not want to do his job of inspection or a repairman that is tired of a new employee every week or so and keeps the line running and sends it to reject for a fix that they would not do because it is just to hard to do it and would ship it with or without boxes.
