RCA Projection TV in Central Europe

Just today I came across an early RCA projection set that I hadn't seen before.
It looks like TRK 12/120.

This photo is of average quality. The screen aspect ratio is similar to a projection TV screen, but I believe this is a "standard" TRK12. I have this model at home. I measured the mirror. Its dimensions are 51x36 cm. After opening the mirror, looking horizontally, we obtain a shape as in the photo, close to a square. For comparison, I measured the mirror of a pre-war Marconi. Its dimensions are 74x38 cm. When we observe the mirror horizontally, we definitely see a rectangle. By the way, this is an interesting difference between the pre-war US/GB production.

Thanks Adam, You are correct. I was confusing the mirror for a display screen.
