Ah, an exception to the rule! Icon_smile

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the call letter tabs were inserted by the dealer, not by the factory. How would they know at the factory which radios would be going to what cities/towns? So I really believe the tabs were installed by the original dealers. So the dealer which originally sold your 38-1 may very well have used an early 1937 (made in summer-fall 1936) call letter tab kit? The tabs are otherwise the same. So, technically...yes, original.
