That's very curious, I have some radios that I refinished over 20 years ago and they have no crazing in the lacquer at all. I would take a guess that it may be caused by using lacquer to fill the grain rather then grain filler. It could also be that too much material was sprayed on in too short of a time.
I also agree with the opinions regarding the dial escutcheon, they were antiqued when they left the factory, at least the one used on my 60L was. I was a coat of shading lacquer they used and not a chemical treatment, so it's easily fixed, on my 60L you could see that the back side was bright brass whereas the front was made to look like bronze.
