Interesting - the cabinet looks like the 46-1201:

But the dial is different and yours has three knobs.

The info on 1946 tropic models is here:
https://philcoradio.com/library/index.ph...ic-models/

But I don't see your model.

However I think I may have found it in the 1948/1949 service info yearbook:

Model 48-1805.
