There is one of those 38-2670B variants pictured in the Gallery:

https://philcoradio.com/gallery2/1938a/#Model_38-2670B

Someone sent me that photo many years ago when I was putting together the Philco book. I've never seen a cabinet with that grille opening, and this is only the second one I've ever seen a photo of.

Oh, and Philco did not make a 38-670 in the 1938 season, only 38-2670.
