I don't know that I've seen a rosette knob w/ a set screw in the side. I have in the front and hex w/a screw in the side.
Skip,
On the early 16B'B the two speed tuning mechanism requires that you pull the tuning knob out or push it in to change speeds. Most of the knobs have a spring steel clip that holds them onto the shaft. On this sets it needs screw to hold the knob in place. When you use a non set screw knob it will pull off. If you look closely at the 2nd gallery pic you'll see a hole in the tuning knob. That one is missing the screw. The later model sets w/ hex knobs had a small set screw in the knob.
YMMV

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
