Welcome...and Very nice catch! 
Very good price, too.
I once had the separate speaker cabinet that matches your set, but I later sold it. If I still had it, I probably would have sold it to you. Sorry. As you know, the separate speaker cabinets for any of the 1933-36 Philco chairside sets are very hard to find.
I can tell you that the separate speaker cabinet which went with your 118RX used a PM speaker inside. I seem to recall that there was also a small box that contained a choke to substitute for the field coil used in most 118 models.
A skilled woodworker like Kenny Richmond or Steve Davis could probably make a replica, if he had several photos and the original dimensions. You can see an original here:
