It seems I've seen a photo of that cabinet variation before.

Is this a Canadian version (3118X)?

If not, then it must be a factory variant.

Some Philco cabinets were produced by more than one furniture maker. It could be that Philco changed the design during production, or else one of the third party cabinet makers changed the specs on their own and produced this variant. We can't know for sure since everyone involved with production of these cabinets are all now deceased.

When I get a chance, I'll look in Furniture History and see if more than one company produced this "X" cabinet.
