Thanks for the replies. It is apparently an early chassis, I have another early set but I couldn't get to it (without an afternoon worth of digging) to look at the chassis. I would have rather it be a late chassis so as to have both versions. By the way, although both are early, one has a bakelite dial with 3 piece trim the other is a brass dial with 5 piece trim. I thought there was one certain dial type per version.

P.S. Mortz, I now understand what you mean about the grill routing, these 2 are different, one is just a concave strip cut out of the top 1/3 of the grill, the other is more like the "Russian R" picture you posted.
