The cabinet is indeed a 16B...but I'd never seen a 5-band chassis in this cabinet before, only in the cathedral and the version of this cabinet with the less pronounced peak to the cabinet top.
Did you buy this radio? If so, tell me, is there a large hole behind the tuning knob? If so...then, definitely, the chassis has been switched. The 4-band version uses dual concentric tuning knobs, necessitating the large hole for the larger concentric tuning shafts. A 5-band chassis where a 4-band chassis should be...a 5Z3 in place of an 80...this points to a chassis swap to me.
