Steve, yes.
Take a look at Sams 75-1 http://www.earlytelevision.org/image...43-Sams-75.pdf

It has the option for DC power with a "Polarizing Relay" (vibrator?) the diagram is on page two.
You're right about the B+ I don't see anything higher than 127 volts listed in the voltage chart.
It has no Flyback using an RF type supply so maybe that's why. I'm guessing they managed to duck most or all of RCA's Patents with that chassis!
