So far I have come across 3 others like mine with the chocolate brown "stretched octagon" beaded bezel and chocolate brown rosette knobs. My conclusion is that at some point in the run, as with many Philco sets, whatever parts were available were used to complete a production run. I was not able to debunk that it's the way it came from the factory.

I've got your radio's big brother the 116B, and that thing is a pain in the butt to align.
The cabinet on mine was stripped at one point in time so I need to figure out how to properly refinish the cabinet so it has the contrasting tones like it originally did.
