The first one looks far more like my one and it never had a lift up lid. There doesn't seem to be a maker's mark on Richards one so it's not certain that this is the one but it sure looks similar but I don't recall a tone control.

I know it had gram input which never went via the volume control, i.e. the gram was full volume overload at all times. One of the first things I learnt was how to wire an external volume pot' up to tame the thing. I was told that the reason the gram input was always at full was that some record decks had their own volume pots' built in.
