Also no Irish 625 till 31st Dec 1961 or Jan 1962, so can't be an Irish Export version. Pilot wouldn't have been selling TVs in mainland Europe. The Trader Sheets and R &TV S don't generally cover export models (typically radios had SW instead of LW) or Irish models (radios without VHF in case of UK models with VHF as UK FM is 1955 and Ireland was maybe 1962?). Ireland TV was a mix of 405 and 625 depending on if UK TV could be received and only really from 1962. Germany VHF-FM from 1949 and the 625 was in Europe somewhere 1948-1950s. Belgium had sets with 2 kinds of 819 and 625 line. I think only UK and used 405 lines: 1935 -1939 & 1946-1962, with UK and parts of Ireland 405 1962 to 1985.
