Well Tom's observation about this model being the tabletop version model 925 attached to a matching bottom does seem to be the case. The top cabinet is, in fact, bolted to the bottom with a decorative spacer in between.
I tested the CRT today and it is marginal but has good cutoff so will produce a picture. It is dated middle of '49 as are most of the other tubes I checked and the power transformer so I am guessing it is the original.
The 5U4's are dated early '55 and the 2nd sync amp 6SN7 is dated last week of '56. There is a note on the chassis that the 6SN7 was changed 2/5/57. This set seems to have been in use for nearly 10 years.
I am surmising that the serial number is 305 based on the numbers stamped into the chassis above the model number tag. I am assuming that the prefix (A92591) refers to the chassis type as the stamping was definitely done at a different time. It would be interesting to discover the serial numbers of any other 925 or 965 units out there.
