That's a unique looking '60's TV. Yes, it's hard to understand why sets in different areas of the world were made with certain styles and materials. It likely was a financial/marketing matter. I personally love the '30's GE bakelite cathedral radios produced in Australia, and wonder why they weren't produced here in the USA.
