Are you sure about this guys?
Here is a pic of the cloth on the Philco. It looks more like GRC-41 to me. Two dark lines on a lighter background. The other one looks more like two lighter lines on a darker background.
also, if you look at this page, it looks more like the one I'm talking about. It's light background with darker twin stripes.
