Makes sense to me.
And, yes, Philco was notorious for using up old parts until they were gone, before moving on to something different.
As an example of this, I'm getting a 200X later this week. Only, it is a hybrid 200/201 - 200X cabinet, 201 chassis. The labels inside the cabinet indicate 201, but one of them was placed partially over an older 200X label. You can find these photos at the other forum - do a search there for "Philco 200X" and the author "Rocklandman" - this is the radio I am getting. Or, just wait a few days and I'll post some pics of my own.
