I can't ID it, but I don't believe it to be prewar. Even the fabled German E-1, most advanced of all prewar sets with its flyback high-voltage and rectangular CRT, looked much more primitive inside, with S-envelope glass tubes and weird little squat, fat knockoffs of the standard metal tube. I could be wrong, but I see what looks like a miniature tube on the chassis of the set in question. I know of several examples of postwar sets designed with but one single mini tube, but these would only appear in prewar sets if they were added during some later modification...which isn't common.
