I agree. Looks like a CTC-16 clone. RCA was still licensing these badge-engineered clones as late as '66. My Philco 16M91 roundie is an example of a '66 Philco model bearing suspicious resemblance to the RCA CTC-20. Still, the Telefunken branding itself would make that set distinctive and desirable.

My Dumont C-100 is a fine example of a distinctive set which was built around an "ordinary" RCA CTC-11 chassis design. The cabinet styling is what sets it apart from its RCA roots.
