I didn't note what model number they called it. The decals around the knobs like "VOLUME" are in English so maybe the cabinet was imported but the chassis manufactured locally. There's many such combinations down there with Zenith, RCA, Philco as well as some of the European brands.

Here's another weird bird. The escutcheon carries some name other than Philco. Could be that somebody replaced it along the way? The chassis has been hacked up for miniature tubes so its impossible to really identify what it was originally.
