The Alba brand name was probably just a way Philips could sell outside of the Philips dealer network possibly to small dealers via wholesalers. Thorn certainly did this with the Marconi brand name.

Philips sold sets to Alba as another source of income and to improve economies of scale in production. They also had their own wholesale brand at that time: Stella (and dual standard Stella branded G6 sets were produced).
