I'm thinking the green tube is also a 'modification,' especially since the dial face is brown and is unlikely to be enhanced by the green light. Tube-wise, the Mighty 190 is an 8-tube set, numbered and marked on the schematic as follows:
1232 R.F.
7J7 Det.-Osc.
7B7 I.F.
7A6 2nd Det. A.V.C.
7C6 1st Audio
41 Output (two on the chassis)
84 Rect.
Aside from having only briefly had an introduction to radio theory for a week back in college, the terminology has loooooong slipped my mind (I majored in Marine Transportation, not Electronics).

Double conversion is using two IF converters instead of one. This improves the image response.
