I think you are correct. The pictures were taken from the book "PAL - Das Farbfernsehen" by Walter Bruch and Heide Riedel, p. 32. On page 33 was written:
"In der Zeit, als es noch keine Dreifarben-Bildroehre gab, also in der ganzen Entwicklungszeit fuer NTSC, musste man solche Empfaenger benutzen. Und auch dann noch, als die ersten Dreifarbenbildroehren noch knapp und teuer waren, verkaufte man solche Farbempfaenger fuer NTSC. Ein derartiges Geraet hat der Verfasser 1955 in Tokyo am Flugplatz gekauft."
Translation:
"In the time when no tricolor kinescopes exist, i.e. in the entire time of development of the NTSC system, one had to use such trinescope color receivers. And later in the time where the tricolor crts were rare and expensive, such trinescope color sets for NTSC were sold. One of these trinescope sets the author (i.e. Walter Buch) has bought in 1955 in Tokyo at the airport."
I think the time has to be 1965. "1955" had to be a type writer error. And 1965 lies within the range of time were Walter Bruch travelled all around the world to demonstrate his PAL color system.
