One of the questions on the Application for Social Security Account Number is "name given you when you were born." If Emil filled it in correctly, that should be the original name in the old country.
Regarding Czechoslavakia as birthplace on one census, and Austria on another, borders were changing and people evidently kept up with the change and gave the current country that governed the places where they were born.
