Admiral 17T1 Cabinet Confusion

Admiral's 17T1 chassis came in two flavors: 17T11 and 17T12. As far as I know, the only difference is the cabinet style. The most common one is the "Chinese" with concentric squares for the grille. The other, I think, is the basket weave pattern, and I believe it is distinct from the "Checkerboard" grille on the 19A1 cabinets. I've seen pictures of the basket weave before, but I can't find any now.

My 17T1 is the "Chinese" type, and the label on the cabinet says "17T12." I've always assumed that the 17T12 is "Chinese" and the 17T11 is "basket weave." Does anyone know for sure which is which? And is there a picture somewhere of a 17T1 cabinet that's not "Chinese?" (Don't be fooled by 17T1 chassis in 19A1 cabinets.

Thanks,
Henry.
