Yes, this is a late version 90 with two 47s and a three gang tuning cap. The 90s that didn't the flat plate shield, used a round shield on the 27 tube on the left rear of the four tube group. The early Philcos came with either Mershon or Sprague filter caps, these are the Mershon. These have been re-stuffed with film capacitors.
