Definitely a S-W mfg'd radio. I don't have a 40 acc book but the 40 fact book lists a deluxe and a standard radio. 39 acc list has a single unit radio and a custom radio. 41 and 42 only mentions a custom radio for the dash and offers a rear compartment radio at double the price.

Since the dash units look quite different I would almost bet the single unit in 39 might translate to a deluxe in 40 and was the S-W unit while the custom or standard radios were made by Philco.

Joe, could you post the other pages in the booklet. I and maybe others would like to save a copy for future reference.
