P.E. on the type label confirms the Irish manufacture. My best guess is that the set was partially based on British and Dutch designs. Why the part number for the back looks like a Dutch provisional number, not sure. Maybe part of the set was based on a pre-production design or derived from a CKD (Philips presumably had a design department and trial factory for CKD export to smaller assembly factories).

The number 1099 underneath, is a factory number. Often not the same as the real serial number. Numbering might have started at 1001.

What does the back itself look like? Could you maybe take one or two close up pictures of the station dial?
