Hi Doug

Other than the 1939-1940 models being a darker brown than their 1941 counterparts, I believe the thumbwheels are all the same.

I once had to replace volume and tone thumbwheels on a 1939 or 40 Philco. I had a 1941 junker, and pulled the wheels from it. After replacement, I noticed the thumbwheels on the left were a lighter color than the ones on the right! Icon_eek Worked perfectly though.
