Zenith certainly never sold any demo chassis to the public anywhere. Those test sets were built strictly as lab chassis so that whole sections could be replaced by one-off experimental designs. The ones that survived are probably similar but different from each other in details, and certainly would not have gone into even limited production.

Also, as far as I know, Zenith had nothing to do with the NTSC medical systems; I believe their involvement stopped with the field-sequential monitors.
The only prototype Zenith color set I heard of is the one in John Folsom's possession! I understand, it was bought from a Zenith design engineer.
It also had a Zenith prototype 15" round CRT!
