Model 261 is not a USA model. It is a UK model. The chassis was made in the USA exclusively for export to UK. The cabinet was, as far as I know, made in the UK (Perivale, Greenford, Middlesex).

The 261 pictured on that website is the early version of the 261. The one I have (which I had sent to me from the UK) is a late version.

I also noticed that, while my late version 261 looks very much like the radio you initially posted a picture of, there are subtle differences. Chiefly in the grille cutouts.

Yes, I would likewise be curious to see more photos of the model for sale.
