on the American (G.E) version, the chassis was designed & built here in the states using (mostly) American parts & Compactron (G.E) tubes, so naturally, the GE version was designed for 110-120v AC.
the U.K. model that you posted may have a different chassis in it.

i have one of these G.E. Portacolors buried under my bench. one day, when i get a chance, i will take a picture of the chassis & post it here.
