My guess is that the set in question has a first generation rectangular CRT, like a 20CP4 instead of a later, more common 21inch tube. Might be difficult to find a replacement.

Or, it may just be a 17 inch CRT which is from about that era.

A likely possibility! Sams 135-2, which covers a bunch of early 50s Admirals shows both 17” and 20” tubes in use.

A 17BP4 should be easier to find than a 20” jug.
