Arran, yes, the front corners do appear to be solid walnut. It looks better than the cheap "white wood" typically used by USA Philco in those areas of a cabinet.
Bill (exray) - I just finished examining the front panel closely, and no, it is not photofinish - it is the real deal, actual veneer work. I can't think of any USA Philco tombstone that has this much fancy veneer work on its front panel.
The top of the set has been refinished at some point; I found several runs in the finish at the upper left edge.
