I am not sure if a UHF tuner would have fit between the two chassis in the 14 inch model, but in all the other models there was plenty of room for the UHF tuner, if needed.

I don't think Philco made a 14" set that late. The split chassis design was one of Philco's dark secrets. It seems it was more expensive to build that way. That was the last year for the splits.
The 1955 model year it was back to the single chassis and tube rectifier.
