I can't see any genuine manufacturer sticking (presumably) a tuning knob in the middle of the speaker fret. It just doesn't look right...or the style of the knob for that matter. I reckon it's a mock-up.

For what its worth the sit-com was made at Teddington Studios in studio 1 and the production company was Alomo Productions which have since been bought by FremantleMedia Ltd

If you could find the guy who worked in the props department you might be able to solve your puzzle.
