EDIT: One possible clue: The VKer known as "old tv nut" has an animated avatar of a set with the same bezel, only with a "chromed" knob driving a tuner with a backlit channel indicator. The mystery RCA is likely an economy version of his set.

It's probably a CTC20. There's only three knobs under the bezel, no tone control.
RCA, as well as others, made sets for a particular customer as a short run, leader model. That model was probably the real last run of the 20's.
Ages ago, I had trouble finding a channel selector knob for an RCA. The RCA distributor had to call the factory to cross- reference the model number. The factory said, it was a special order set for a large store chain.
