Since the channel selector shaft is also split, and since there is no fine tuning control on this set, I'm guessing that the knob resembles the volume and contrast knobs but with a simple gold dot to indicate the channel. Is this correct?

I believe that is correct for the early production chassis. The early ones have some of the 6KV caps mounted above chassis, channel 1 and no fine tuning.
Later chassis usually have a smaller center shaft for fine-tuning that rotates a single capacitor plate on the back of the channel water switch.
