I think it might be because Philco and RCA generally matched up thier chassis with the model number on the cabinet. Zenith tended to make one type chassis, then stick them in something like a million styles of cabinet depending on trim and shape. So, you needed the chassis number for servicing.
No matter where you go, there you are.
