I've been wonder about that too. Many radios from that era had the same knob & dial layout - close enough to swap cabinets. I believe this cabinet was sold without a radio - perhaps to manufacturers - perhaps to the general public.

Now that I've seen a really good photo of the interior of a "real" 931, it's pretty obvious that my radio is still attached to it's original mounting board. It's meant to slide into a slot in the Sparton cabinet. It's just sitting on a shelf in mine held in place with four bolts. The real clincher is that the original speaker wires with their spade terminal are about 3 inches shy of the speaker. Someone put little wire extensions on to bridge the gap. Overall this cabinet appears to be about 20% bigger than the original.

I can't explain away the label though. It appears to be unmolested and I can't find any area where an old label might have been removed.
