Well, I think this settles the issue...that's a 640 dial!

Compare Hotwire's 98 dial to a USA Philco 640/650 dial:

The two dial scales sure look identical to me!

So it is apparent Philco stuck 220 volt transformers in 640 chassis and sent them to the UK as "Model 98" sets for the 1936 season.

That is, Hotwire, assuming your 98 is designed for 220 volt operation?

I do not own a 640, so I'm afraid I can't help you with the under-chassis photo. Hopefully someone here will chime in. I can send you the service info for the 640 if you want it.
