These were obviously produced for custom branding as the brand name always appears on the brushed aluminum trim plate and not on the case itself. They must have stacked them up in the factory without the badges and when an order came in for a certain quantity under a particular brand they would custom order the badge and just stick it on the required number of sets.
The Panasonic set looks similar but has a chrome trim piece on the side.
You are right about this chassis being the Model T of pocket radios. I've seen this chassis in sets with different case styles. The military looking pocket radios from the Seventies used it.
