Haven't really checked the tube numbers. Poked around the other day and notice one of the tapped leads to the power transformer is broken off with no way to resolder it. Looking at the photo of your machine I see some differences between yours and the one I have. The back of the chassis is the same but the power transformer in mine is definitely different. This unit I have was certainly worked on at some point and I'm unable to find a schematic. I would really like to get it going as the case if almost perfect save for a small spot near the bottom rear which is really not noticeable.
You did a magnificent job on your machine, really looks nice - especially the chassis.. Cheers
