It could easily be that it was originally a roundie!
All I remember, that the set design didn't impress me. All PC board, series string, transformerless design. If you look at the picture, the panel on the left side of the cabinet was removable and the convergence settings were located which was probably a plus.
By using an all-glass CRT, made a simpler conversion kit, as you didn't need all those insulators needed for a metal CRT.
It seems to me, that many of those sets came from the factory already converted.
BTW, the Sams is dated 1959.
