IIRC the difference between 44 and 47 is one is 150mA the other is 250mA...Higher current also means brighter and hotter... Hotter can melt plastic dial scales. In AA5s you gotta use the right one or the dial lamp and or rectifier filament will die prematurely.

Maybe it was owned by a stoggy parent...FM was pretty much classical and easy listening only till the 70's, AM was where the Rock was. It could have been sabotaged to avoid AM.
During WWII the government did something similar German families suspected of being Nazi sympathizers....Their radios SW bands were disabled by the government to prevent them listening to German radio transmissions.
