The picture tubes listed are: 16KP4, 16RP4, 16TP4, 17BP4 AND 20DP4. As an explanation of the name, the address listed for Scott Radio Labs in Chicago is 4541 Ravenswood Avenue. I don't notice anything unusual about the chassis.

Is there an indication of what year it was likely produced?

RCA made a few large console rear-projection combo sets about 1947-48 with chrome-plated radio and amplifier chassis, but the TV chassis may not have been plated.

This TV chassis sure doesn't look to have any chrome, from the photos in Sams. Pretty basic.
