The radio has a loop antenna for AM, but for FM would probably, in that era, need an external antenna so there should be some terminals for that.

There are terminals for FM in the center of the AM loop, and there was a very professionally installed FM antenna along the inside of the cabinet. Whoever modified this thing did a clean job of it.
The speaker grille is on one side (where it would face outward into a room with the radio on the right-hand side of a chair), and the dial bezel is on top. There are no other holes in the cabinet.
I'm fairly certain now that the radio head came out of a Majestic radio/TV/possibly phono console. I haven't been able to find any pictures of that exact dial face and bezel, though.
