Hi and welcome,

Here is the service info for your set which has more than you would ever what to know about it. There are a couple of '46 models that are similar in appearance but have different features.
It wasn't uncommon in those right after WWII to scramble to get back in to civilian production, called reconversion. It's not uncommon for 1946 products to look like their prewar counterparts or for '46, '47, and '48 model to look the same.
The 47-1230 was released in the fall of 1946 for the '47 season. The best and newest feature was the new FM band.

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!
