The two type 48 tubes make no sense at all, they each have 30 volt filaments. Is this a series string set of some kind? I don't see a normal power transformer in there, just what looks like a vertical mount unit next to what I presume are the type 48 tubes? I'm wondering if maybe this was a weird Canada only variant or a converted battery set? Is there a tube location chart inside the cabinet? Does it have a CSA, or a CESA decal on the chassis?
Regards
