The grille bars, and bottom skirt/molding would have been shaded darker I think, though I've never seen an example of this exact model. I am guessing that the sides had a sort of false panel where they would have had the center a lighter shade, then the border, as differentiated by the grooves, this was a popular thing on the cabinets of many Canadian sets, but the U.S version has an actual plywood panel in the side, I'm guessing the Canadian ones is solid wood with a veneer on top. Canadian Philcos tended to follow similar design trends with their U.S counterparts when it came to shading, even if the cabinets themselves differed in millwork, or in marquetry, but also reflected local trends. There were some 1936 Canadian Philco consoles that had stubby feet where the U.S versions did not, but the cabinets were shaded in a similar as the skirted U.S models.
