Apart from # of plates, that's exactly what I have. Take a look at

You can see it there; it turns out you're right and
there's an error on the tube layout diagram; the tuning caps are mislabeled there, which is what threw me off.
I now see this is not true; the yellow wire runs to the lug of the coil (thus smaller section) and the green wire is bridged by the antenna (2-wire flat cable you see)
Thus, BIG=antenna, SMALL=coil, and therefore REECE=correct.
There is indeed NO hole in the chassis above the coil; the only one is a fold-out pin to which the ground lug of the coil is soldered. (and it does not extend over the center of the coil).
