Hi and welcome,
You might have a better chance finding someone here UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum (vintage-radio.net) as we are primarily in the US. The model is a little hard to tell from the bottom it's either a late model 70 or a 71. If it uses 2.5v tubes like 24A, 35/51, 27, and 47 this would be a 70. The 71 uses the newer 6v tubes like 39/44, 36, 37, and 42 it's a 71. If it's a UK built set it could be different from it's US counterpart.
January 1933 - Philco Radio Gallery
The cabinet looks identical to the 71H but your set doesn't have a shadow meter. That's why the set in the gallery's 71H dial escutcheon is larger. On the other hand I couldn't find any 71's w/a shadow meter in their diagrams. Pretty sure the 70 never had one.
GL W/your new project!
ps Somehow I have the feeling we've met before, perhaps on FB

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
