Pete's convergence probability conundrum...!

That'll be one for the history books if/when confirmed. In '54 there was a drive to get away from the pressures brought about by the high-voltage static/dynamic convergence challenges of the 15GP22 and 15HP22 tricolor CRTs. We know Rauland experimented with a '15GP22' built without a G4 (convergence) element for use in magnetic convergence development.

It seems unlikely the Japanese would have bothered with static convergence by that time when the magnetic method was so entrenched. But then I would have said the same thing about a Japanese three-CRT color set from the same era, which as we know now, was a reality.
