They both appear to have the same rectangular crt and a very similar cabinet and control layout. But you're right that the squareness of the corners on the crt does look out of place for the cabinet style.........Bob

The one on the left, to me, looks like it has what I think of as a typical German/Euro crt look from the seventies and eighties. The glass sort of bulged out at you with very little or sometimes no mask. This is an interesting company! Perhaps they produced and sold world wide.
