Not sure about the CRT, but these period retro-fits were VERY common. These were expensive sets and owners often opted for an upgrade before buying a completely new set. A smart idea because it was tough to beat a 630 chassis.

I scrapped two Admiral 30B1 combo's, that were converted to 14", using a 14BP4. They both looked like a hack-job, done by the same firm. They had that plastic safety lens assembly. Also, the flyback and yoke had to be changed.
I had understood, by the people that owned them, that they were never too reliable.
