You have the later 4-band (Code-125) chassis.
From the under-chassis pics it's definitely seen some service long in the past. Not uncommon - but the first step will be to try and reverse that and figure out how it went originally.
These are great performing sets when fixed up and fully recapped. You definitely want to replace the electrolytics before trying it on a variac or dim bulb tester. It may kind-of sort-of work at that point which will make it easier to go through and recap the rest of the bakelite blocks and replace any out of tolerance resistor.
It should be possible to reglue the front onto the cabinet (can you see how it was originally held together?). And of course it looks like a good candidate to refinish at some point.
