The PortaColor has the same type circuit.
The only GE that didn't use it was a IIRC the CA model, RCA semi-clone. If that the one I'm thinking about, the original GE service manual shows the color board as RCA design, including their artwork.
The 1957 GE color set, IIRC 21CL500 with the "L" shaped chassis and three 5U4's had a compression trimmer tint control as part of the front operating controls. That one also used the Victoreen HV regulator.
