Not quite the exact same part, but non-remote color sets had tuning knobs with round number projection indicators like that. The remote models usually had the same type of display with a rectangular window.

Even so, that's another color set for the bucket list.

The projection indicators on Zeniths and other makes, used a special lamp bulb, 239 or 240. If you tried to use a #47, you couldn't get the numbers to focus properly. It had something to do with the filament placement. Even with the proper lamp, the adjustment was tricky.
