Hi Art,

The knobs look right but the grille cloth doesn't. I'm pretty sure this 38-12 has the original grille cloth:

   

Actually - you've got a 38-12T. But the same grille cloth and knobs appear to be used based on the photo gallery picture:

I concur.  I just picked this one up last night.  Original grill cloth and knobs (and tobacco smoke and pet hair!).
