Please Help ID this Philco
#1

I picked up this radio today at a swap meet and I'm having trouble identifying the model. Here's what I know.

There is a label inside with a cabinet part # of 10235-G.

There are two labels inside under the speaker as shown below with different Philco model #s. The tube layout label says 37-610 and it shows the modified rectifier tube location indicating a Code 122. The other smaller label says 38-610. I definitely have a 5-tube chassis.

I have Ron's Philco book and the radio looks like the 38-620T because it has the three horizontal light inlays across the dial and the grill matches. And according to Ron's book the 38-620T is a 6-tube radio. It's definitely not not the 37-610T pictured with the black racing stripes across the dial and then down to the knob, and a different grill pattern.

Unless somebody did some chassis/cabinet swapping at some point, I'm confused.

Can anybody help me figure this out?
