The underside mount of the paxolin octal holders is something I've never seen. That's weird.
EDIT:
Went and looked at Model A.
Obviously I never pulled any valves on it, or didn't look. It's got the paxolin bases riveted with soft copper rivets and from the underside. Also holes seem smaller than 1939 model.
If yours was really made like that, then that's unusual if it's really 1941, but not impossible. They do seem to have been using a mixed lineup in 1942.
Tea is underway, so I couldn't check a P8 base. I have some spare NOS P8 bases like those in the 1939 models.
