It is, Terry.
Here is what I have found so far:
I feel this "mutt" used the 39-85 pushbutton assembly. It definitely used the same bezel as the 39-85 pushbutton assembly. Only where the '85 had two of those mica caps insulated only with wax mounted in the pushbutton assembly, Jayce's radio has the mica caps inside the radio chassis, near the band switch. I haven't gone this far yet, but the mutt "17" may even use the 39-85 band switch. Jayce told me his "17" has a three position band switch, which makes sense - pushbutton, AM, and SW.
