Im pretty sure Zenith has a pair of screws like that on the 66 and later models,
But yeah - like Zenith needed it. RCA had to do something if they weren't planning on putting in a $ervice $aver access panel on bottom of the cabinet

Zenith had a TMA that unplugged so it was easy to transport the chassis.
RCA, the TMA was hard wired and they made it easier to transport the chassis for service. Even the earlier B/W sets that had a separately tuner assembly had holes in the in the chassis for hanging the tuner.
The PITA was lining up the indicator wheel that was driven with the tooth belt.
