It could be an early production 21 which still used the 20 chassis until Philco switched to the 21 chassis with dual 45 outputs.
HOWEVER
The knobs are not correct - early production 21 sets witrh 20 chassis still used 20 knobs. Later production 21 sets used rosettes, but a medium rosette for tuning and two small rosettes for off-on and volume. This one has a large rosette knob and two medium rosettes.
Pull the tuning knob off. If the front panel has a large hole (made for a 20 style tuning knob), then it is an early production 20. If it has a small hole, it is a later 21 cabinet into which someone has stuck a 20 chassis.
