The chassis cutouts for the valve holders in mine are about 34mm. So its never had side contact valves.
I'm told that the later sets that are all octal built, all have cord drive tuning, the oscillator coil beneath the chassis like the shortwave equipped 'comfort', also visible screw heads on the front of the set.
Mine has the three cans above the chassis like yours, friction drive, and no visible screw heads.
The valves, although possibly not original, are all short American 1xxGT types.
The 8uF decoupling capacitor may have had a date on it, but I'm not sentimental about originality YT tossed it in the bin,
there's nothing else to tag the date that I can see, just the pencil script on the inside of the back stating a persons name and a date, clearly, Tuesday 23[sup]rd[/sup] Sept. 1941.
Bit of a stretch to think the case and chassis are different.
Does make me wonder if the fault had been on the set from day one....

I thought the only difference with MO is size of the locating centre peg.
