Looks to me like the double D one has the correct set of knobs. I would consider it a plus. BUT, if the bakelite case is cracked and the other one isn't, I would definitely choose the one without cracks.

I second that they restore visually nice and they do perform great. Like the other poster stated, it is one of his best performing TVs -- I find that to be true.

BTW, polish the bakelite with Novus to a nice shine, remove the rubber CRT mask and wash with Dawn to make it look mint green again, strip and polish the solid brass escutcheons to a nice shine, then a little white paint on the knob marks ... and you will have an amazing looking set.

Here is mine - it was a fun restoration:
