Yes Bob, that's right. Its possible Emerson made the radio in two versions, with and without the resistor cord. If it had a resistor cord, there would be no stand up 175 ohm resistor, as it would be built into the cord.
A resistor cord has three conductors, two regular and one resistor conductor. The resistor wire goes to the filament string, and the other to go the rectifier and power switch as usual for a transformerless set.
