Your waaay off base.... It is not a push-pull output, but rather it uses a single ended output with the 3Q5 only working in battery power mode, and the 50B5 only working when the radio is ran off AC line voltage.
262kHz is the second most common IF frequency (455 being first by a VERY wide margin), and IIRC was common in tube era car radios.
