Possibly, but it seems pretty factory. Would it have been possible to "custom order" a 624 as a tombstone? Did Philco do things like that?
Or maybe this was an "early" version of the 624B before the rounded-top tombstone released in January 1936. Could it just be so uncommon that it hasn't shown up before? The early-'36 620B, 623B, and 642B all look identical, as do the half-year 623B, 624B, 625B, and 642B... Wouldn't an early-'36 624B have looked just like its three kin?
