As you can see from the picture I snagged from the Voice of Music Enthusiasts Website the Model 200 78 RPM Record Changer had the same exact mounting screw pattern as the replacement in the radio I'm going to be getting, which is why the more modern V-M Changer was an exact drop-in replacement, because V-M used a standard mounting screw pattern on all of their record changers they ever made for ease of replacement.

This model was apparently known as the Wilshire.
IIRC, the VM record changer pictured is a post-war model. It seems to me VM wasn't in business prewar. They started sometime after WW2.
BTW, offer the seller $40.00 for the console. No one seems to want those wide radio-phono consoles. Not my idea! I have four really nice ones.
