At first I thought it was homemade but the back details look real to me. Its labelled "Siesta" on the back yet it doesn't have a clock like the actual production models. My guess is its a prototype!? Anyone know more about this?

When you go to the site and scroll down to "NOTES" you read the following about a 2nd Siesta model with a clock:
"Notes- Special designed TV Set with 53cm free-standing picture tube, There is known a 2nd Siesta Type which included a clock that could turn the TV on and off at a designated time. VHF and UHF Tuner."
