Hi Dave
The chassis is likely the same as - or similar to - the export model 255E, which is a version of the USA model 52 (superheterodyne) except that it adds one or two more frequency bands in addition to MW (the standard AM band as it's called here).
The gramophone (phonograph in the USA) is surely the same as the single play 78 rpm phonographs incorporated into such USA sets as the 296, Concert Grand, 270, 22L, 24L, 25L, etc. - only with a 220 volt 50 cycle motor instead of the 110 volt 60 cycle motor used in the USA. The heavy "bat wing" RCA-designed tone arm with magnetic pickup was likely used in this model as well.
