Curious circuit. The signal on the unbypassed screen grid will be anti-phase to the cathode coupled signal. The RC network off the screen grid is also interesting: perhaps the circuit was to improve the frequency/phase response of the amplifier? I shall give this more thought

Both Brightness & Contrast controls are weird, the Contrast Mod is
a good start but there's scope for more improvement as DC performance
is poor

The other end of the brightness control is through a resistor to a negative voltage source. The size of the resistance defines how much of the dc component is fed to the grid of the second video amplifier. i see on later chassis's (CTC10 for example) the resitance is larger and the end is tied to a more negative potential. This facilitates mor e dc component getting back.
