The addition doesn't look like anything that would resemble FM circuitry, not even Fremodyne! Plus it uses a crystal, which is missing.
I vote for gutting the bogus circuitry and returning the set to originality.
BTW, the cabinet style was originally for the farm battery sets. I thought the set was converted to AC, but the 38-93 was an AC only set, factory original.
There's no on-line Rider's coverage on this model.
