Can anyone help me identify this TV?

As Electronic M said, this Philmore custom set probably has an RCA 630 chassis.

For a bit of history on this solid-as-a-rock RCA chassis go to:

To verify your set has an RCA 630 chassis, click the "Technical Data" link at the top of the above page, or the one in the text. Then go to either the RCA 630TS link or the RCA 8TS30 link. I think the chassis pictures will match, except for the custom CRT mount. These schematics and data display better if you download them and don't try to view directly from the website.

The Factory manuals are best for restoring the sets, but the Sam's usually have better pictures than the Rider's or the Factory. Both Sam's and Rider's are prone to having minor errors in their data due to production changes.

By the layout, I'd say this is probably a later chassis. The chassis was beefy enough to drive a larger picture tube, but certainly never featured a rectangular CRT like seen in your 3rd picture, when sold by RCA.

RCA sold TVs with this chassis from 1946 through 1948, and also used basically the same circuit 1947 to 1949 projection sets a slightly different form.

The RCA direct viewed CRT sets carried a 13 channel tuner through 1947 and switched to a 12 channel in 1948 and later.

All the RCA projection sets carried the 13 channel tuner with channel 1.

Just wondering, what is the number of your CRT? If not visible, what is the diagonal measurement of the screen?
