Hello.
I understand what you are saying and likewise I have no wish to argue- I merely pointed out that there is obviously two companies with the same name. Something the US are good at.

AFAIKT, although not with any great degree of certainty, the legends on the keys read:

OFF/APAGADO
OL/LW
OM/MW
OC 3 SW
OC 2 SW
OC 1 SW

The word 'apagado' seems to be spanish for 'switched off'. For the others:

onda larga (OL) = long wave
onda media (OM) = medium wave
onda corto (OC) = short wave

I'm no language expert though and whether that brings us any closer to identifying the radio is another matter...

Here's a Philips derivative made here under the Fleetwood banner that I had...

...photos of the chassis show it had B7g/B9a style valves and was dated 1959...

... so IMHO yours is a Frankenradio..!
