It seems to me that someone removed the speaker from its original cabinet and installed it in the radio cabinet. The only reason Philco used the permanent magnet speaker, with a choke and output transformer mounted on a sub chassis, was to not have high voltage in the connecting cable. If this was an original installation, it definitely would have had a field coil speaker.
