The station call letter tabs on the 38-3 I recently finished working on have the double lettering (see photo).  The ones I can make out are/were stations in the northeast, best I can tell.

WEAF - New York City
WLW - Cincinnati
WOR - New Jersey
WJZ - New York
WABC - New York City
KDKA? - Pittsburgh

Would dealers in a multi-state area all use the same station call letter kit?  This particular radio has probably spent all its life in PA.
