I had heard of several peculiar prototype color tubes from that era, and it's always a surprise if I learn that one of those was actually put in a TV. I've had that '55 Raytheon, and it has a 21AXP22. I'd bet it's a pre-production publicity image of the TV, and the actual model had either a 19VP22 or a 21AX. If you look closely at some of the early CT-100 ads, you can tell they airbrushed a picture of a Model 5 to look like a CT-100.
