Other radios based on the same chassis:
5 valve, dual wave (World Wave) mantle radio
Probably the first Colt-style chassis to have dual-wave capability, this was probably also the chassis used in at least the early Skipper 10 radios by Electronics Navigation Ltd
The only sighted example uses a toggle switch on the back - probably for tone. The later 5W7 dual wave Colt uses a rotary switch on the back. Assuming the toggle switch is factory and not something put in as a replacement later on, this might be (short of serial number analysis) the only easy way to tell them apart.

Chassis Notes(most schematics can be clicked to download a full size version)
The valve lineup from the sighted example seems to include some 40-series valves - while the schematic indicates all 80-series. This might be an early example of the model.
Instalbility modification - add a diode filter
