Bob;
I think that the Phillips was actually manufactured in Canada, though they may have imported many of the components from Motorola in the U.S, particularly the cabinet and hardware. The capacitors, and probably the tubes, were made in Canada, the filter caps are of lower quality then the ones in your set though, they are the cheap ones stuffed in a cardboard tube, with a wax bung at either end. That type are fairly easy to restuff so I likely will, I don't think I will bother with restuffing the paper caps in this thing, as you say it's very cramped, and I am having a hard time just seeing the tube socket terminals with the rat's nest of wire everywhere.
I did find out roughly when Motorola began manufacturing in Canada, it was in 1952-53, which makes sense since everything I have seen from them was made in the 1950s or later. What the arrangement with Phillips was will have to remain a mystery I guess, the set says it was manufactured in Montreal but all of the other Canadian Phillips stuff was made in the Toronto area. I have seen this with Wilcox Gay Recordios, they seem to have had an arrangement with Canadian Marconi to market Recordio models in Canada, though they may have assembled them here.
