WOW! This is what I WISH that my very similar 8T-243 looked like! Mine was given to me several years ago and I did a little work on it, then other things came into play and I have never gone back to install a pile of caps that I bought for it.
I have always complained that the set is too plain, if not downright ugly, and the main reason is that mine has the rectangular mask. I think that the double-D style is much more interesting looking and if you don't have a rectangular tube, then why have a rectangular mask?
I have dealt with two of these style chassis, one being a restoration (TC-127). They are all about the same and fairly complex, but not a DuMont or anything like that. I will say to just go ahead and change out the power supply filters before doing much of anything unless you have a pile of 5U4s that you want to burn off or maybe an extra power transformer. Good luck!
