Jim - which bakelite set are you referring to?

If you mean the 46-806, third from the left, top row in the photo above - it is USA-made. It looks just like a PT-2/42-PT2/46-250 except for the three-band dial scale...and the band switch in back. The big wooden set to the right of it is a UK Philco (chassis made in Philadelphia...cabinet in England...originally sold in England).

And the 46-806 Tropic is identical to a 42-706C Tropic.
