Dear forum members

Recently the above set has come to me for restoration. This set is 100% identical to BX495U. Then why a separate model no was given? Did Philips Holland also manufacture radios with model nos BCA....?. As far as I understand Philips in India started manufacturing radios from 1955 and they used the model no as BCA....? from 1957 on wards the model nos used to be B4CA...., B5CA.... and B6CA..... So was BCA495U manufactured in India or Holland? Also Philips never used the 21 series valves like ECH21,UCH21, EBL21,UBL21 etc. in the radio sets manufactured in India. Is the original Schematic available for BCA495U?
