I might have figured out the problem...as Charles said, this might have been the first European set...
From the Sony.net website:
"
Five years had passed since the first Trinitron color television (KV-1310), was launched in Japan in October 1968. Overseas demand had grown steadily and Sony had built manufacturing plants for color TVs and cathode ray tubes (CRTs). As Sony was preparing to establish a new plant overseas, wonderful news came. Sony's Trinitron was selected for an Emmy Award. "
and this is appearently the photo

THIS is the answer--from an old AudioKarma discussion:
" . . .
On another note: The Japanese-market version of the KV-1210U was the KV-1310. Evidently the Japanese continued to market TVs using the overall diagonal (in the USA starting in the late 60's, advertized TV picture sizes had to be based on just the viewable area). . ."
So, I guess I'm really looking for a KV-1210...just in case anyone sees one listed for sale--
