Most of the time a dual voltage primary only involves adding an extra lead to the primary, so the primary would have three leads instead of two, and the resistance of the primary would be 5 ohms instead of 2.5 ohms, although it looks like they added more to this transformer. I think that if the 240 volt mains option is eliminated it should be clearly marked someplace that this was changed. I would also recommend having the primary rewound, even if it is single line voltage, to 125 volt specs, if the line voltage goes any higher then that the power company has an equipment problem. One of the information folders available from Chuck Schwark should have more data available regarding the transformers used in this set, I believe there are two.
