The tube is an M27KGC10X. Has the usual orange Trinitron label on it, so this shouldn't be a non-Sony knockoff tube like the one in the last 5" set; the FDT-5BX5. I put a few pics below; the set is sitting with a 12" and a 9" for comparison in one photo.

Keep in mind, this was the older-style V8 Rivera, not the transverse V6 style as your Trofeo is.
I pulled the dash monitor out of an '89 Buick Riviera at Pick-A-Part, just out of curiosity (paid $12 for it, if I recall). It was a Zenith monochrome monitor. I don't remember it being a touch-screen, but I don't know. It was definitely monochrome (amber CRT) though.
