RCA TK-14's in Billy Joel "Tell Her About It" clip

I've been viewing Billy Joel's "Tell Her About It" video clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laaJnP7WlZM which the did a mock Ed Sullivan Show stage set up with a guy impersonating Ed Sullivan (he did a great job of it too) and to look the part they even used RCA B&W cameras with the CBS logos on them. Now one thing interesting I noticed is one of the cameras appears to be the ultra rare RCA TK-14 cameras because of the labeling on the top front of the camera head and the red tally light and the blue body colour. It looks too original to be a slap-together prop so it would have to be original used as a prop. I wonder if Chuck Pharis's TK-14 http://www.pharis-video.com/p4756.htm was the same camera or if that camera was from Museum of Broadcast Technology in Woonsocket, R.I. as I am aware they have one?
