You raise a valid point.

I would hazard a guess that the 38-5B escutcheon probably is smaller than a 38-5X escutcheon. This is true of many other 1937 and 1938 Philco models - that is, the Baby Grand or B version has a smaller escutcheon than the console version.

We would need someone out there with a 38-5B to confirm against the outer dimensions of yours. I do not have one. Anyone?
