Not sure why Zenith did it that way in the beginning as I think the rest of the industry was using the much smaller and simpler purity ring assembly at the end of the tube.
I thought it was for purity adjustment.
I didn't know, that there was an "M" chassis 23V rectangular set, just the "N" models.
I know, that RCA had a CTC17E chassis, that was their first 23V set. It had the same control panel as the CTC16E roundie. Most of them, didn't have that great of a picture and had purity problems.
