It probably is original. Might be a Monday or a Friday radio.
Translation:
A "Monday" radio would have mistakes because someone along the assembly line was still half asleep (or hung over) and did something wrong, like stick an 89 chassis and tube layout label in a 32B cabinet.
A "Friday" radio would have mistakes because someone, or several someones, along the assembly line was in a hurry to get off work and did something wrong, like stick an 89 chassis and tube layout label in a 32B cabinet.
Or Philco could have even had a run of 89 chassis and 32B cabinets, without 89B cabinets and 32 chassis, and just used up a production run by making a few Phranken-Philcos.
Notice your cabinet has the wood brackets for the 32 power supply.
At any rate, you have a very interesting, possibly unique, radio.
