I think there's a bit of perspective distortion coming in to play in the picture, but they are big radios with a wider panel than the 483mm (19") standard and Telefunkens generally are sturdily constructed and well-screened making them necessarily bulky. The E103 has a chunky 7-band turret and stands out in being a Rimlock-equipped comms receiver, a relatively narrow historical window.
