Interesting on the mid-year safety glass omission... Now that I think about it, I think there's an 11 in a cheap black metal cabinet in a collection here in SoCal with safety glass, and the weird knobs. It's probably a case where they didn't have total control on the inventory, and they didn't want to waste a bunch of extra masks, etc. Same as how RCA continued a special version of the CTC-38-sized chassis (CTC-20, IIRC), to dump a stash of remaining 21FJP22s at the very end of the roundie era.
