I have to comment that I can't think of a good reason to include 4.5 MHz traps in a video input circuit, unless the input was from a separate RF receiver. Why would anyone deliberately limit the bandwidth?

Edit: I can think of one reason - to create the same awful chroma delay and quadrature distortion that an IF amplifier produces, so that it matches the delay lines in the TV chassis.
