Hi Sam
Yes it appears you are right, most of my KB radios have either a solid wood corner piece, or a half lap joint in the ply reinforced with a fillet in the corner. But I have at least another 2 KB radios which have finger or "comb" joints. (all of the same era, 1933-34)
My Hika, KB 337
& New Pup, KB 397
here is a close up of the mystery radio
It would take a serious piece of tooling to make these joints, it also implies the cabinet sides and top are made from solid wood as opposed to the normal ply.
The KB 333 has a solid wood corner with a wood fillets behind.
