Default Amplion ADP2

Hi all,
Yesterday at RWB I bought this battery portable radio for a very modest sum for an adventure into sets I haven't previously worked on.

The service data sheet shows it having four 1.4 volt octal based valves:
1A7GT, 1N5GT, 1H5GT and a 3Q5GT. This radio is unusual in that the first 3 valves have been replaced with functionally equivalent B7G types.

It looks like a professional job with paxolin adaptor plates that are fixed to the chassis with rubber grommets to minimise any microphonic effects. The plates are held by nice flat headed bolts and the valve bases are riveted into the paxolin.

Has anyone seen this before and is it an official factory mod ?
