Yes - looks exactly like mine, including the short handle, but for a different tuning scale and the addition of the "Nicolette" badge. Interesting to know that Philips were still naming their sets, a few years after the substantial "Colette", "Annette" &c. valve portables. I assume my version is from 1962 as well: a small label inside has "4 49 62", fourth day of the 49th week?
It does seem to have been a long-standing habit with Philips to begin manufacture of at least their more ground-breaking new products at Eindhoven before taking them elsewhere. Mine was plainly intended to be suitable for several different markets, as the battery compartment comes with instructions in English, Dutch (?), German and French.
