That's possible. The cutouts for the radio head in the top looked rather rough, but I've seen plenty of examples of professional cabinetry that wasn't too smooth where it was known that a bezel would be hiding the cuts. The hardware holding the radio's wooden baseplate into the cabinet seemed quite professional and like what would be used on a production line. However, a radio sitting on a wooden shelf in that opening would make sense, as there is a place where a shelf would have slid into the cabinet that doesn't make any sense in light of the chairside configuration.
I'll compare the tube list on the partial label to the actual chassis tonight.
