Philco did not do custom building/ordering, as far as I know.

Model 624 was introduced mid-season 1936 (December 1935/January 1936). Now, it could very well be that Philco had a few shouldered 620/623 cabinets left over and issued the first few 624Bs in the old cabinet before switching to the new, non-shouldered style. Philco pulled stunts like that many times during the 1930s (not documented yet obvious factory issued Franken-Philcos). I have one such example, a 200X cabinet containing a 201 chassis - and with factory labels inside the cabinet indicating that it is a 201X.
