I think what you may have is another Phactory Phranken Philco, if the holes in the front panel lined up it was not unusual for Philco to mate whatever chassis they had on hand to it. The speaker looks like an RCA one, and the transformer sitting behind it was just butchery, I think that those sets may have had the transformer mounted under the chassis.
