It also appears that a HV anode lead has been spliced it. Perhaps the original 17AP4 had a different type of HV cap ?

The anode connection on the 17AP4 looks the same. Mine has a quick disconnect inline with the anode lead (as does Phil's). It looks like that was removed on that set. You can see one end of it hanging in this photo. And the 17AP4 is an all glass CRT:
I noticed that the focus control on mine looks pretty bad (green corrosion on the element wire). I haven't tested it, but I preemptively ordered the same replacement Phil used from Surplus Sales of Nebraska since I know these are a common failure point.

It's not my set though - I'm restoring it for someone. I did consider going for the set you got but it's much too big for my place. The sooner I get this done and out of here the better

I hear ya, these suckers are big. I'm not quire sure where I'll put mine yet
I'm very fortunate to be restoring a set that now two masters, Phil and Bob, are blazing the trail!
