It could be a Canadian Admiral, with a design not shown in US adverts or Sam's manuals. Canadian TVs didn't regularly have UHF until about1965, and many sets were made in southern Ontario for the US market (mainly Ohio and NY.) or imported according to demand.
Admiral made colour sets at the Port Credit Ontario plant starting in 1956. even though Canada didn't have colour until 1967.
