 That set reminds me of a few Canadian model Philco sets I've seen, both in the cabinet and the knob layout, unfortunately I never owned them so I have no idea what models they were. Whomever made that wooden escutcheon did a fairly respectable job, if it were not for the open grain of the wood it would almost look original, at least from the outside. One saving grace is that it looks like it shares the same dial scale as a model 42-724, which would make sense if the schematic matches up. Apparently there are some outfits that can make you a one off reproduction dial, radio daze is one, but there was another that I saw mentioned on the barking dog forum that made signs for windows.
