Think I stumbled on to what this extra loop is supposed to be. According to another website that showed a Philco Transitone TH-16, this extra looped coil perpendicular to the antenna loop is supposed to serve as an 'electrostatic shield'. This is supposed to reject waves electrostatic in nature, therefore improving signal to noise ratio. Based on pictures of other 40-120's I've come across, looks like around 20 turns are present. Probably not too critical, but now I've got a better grasp on what it is.
