I see to remember seeing some pictures of British Philcos that looked like they had round "Airplane" style dials but it's hard to tell since they were black and white photos from an advertisement, and they were not quite the same. The older British Philcos all used chassis imported from the U.S, installed into British built cabinets, I'm not sure what they did in France. One way to date the set would be to see what sort of tubes were used, Philco didn't start using octal based tubes until the 1937 model year, and they were all glass types. Where the chassis type is marked it looks like the number has been overstamped, it looks like it says 61127, with the 7 stamped over top of the letter "C" in Code, the code number looks like it says 321, if it were a domestic U.S or Canada set it would say Code 121. Both the numbers for chassis type and code look like they were punched in there with a different set of dies then the voltage, line frequency, and wattage numbers.
