1967-68 Admiral pics?

I'm trying to identify my grandmother's old console TV. It was a non-remote set in a French Provincial cabinet. I recall a crosshatch pattern overlay on the speaker grille cloth, speakers on both sides, both of them full-height. I don't remember a whole lot about it as it was gone by the early 90s, but mom believes it was an Admiral and I found pics of an Admiral set with a very familiar-looking face and channel knobs.

The left one is a ~1967 Admiral remote set.

Still trying on and off to identify the exact model, but getting closer...

The closest model I have been able to find an ad for is the 1967 model LK5559. The only difference is this one lacks the outer speakers. Ad at the link below, I can't find a way to post it here with the iPad.

How about this? It's an RCA, but it fits the description perfectly.

That's as close as I could get in a RCA. I'd take that RCA if local and cheap, but for nostalgia's sake I'm seeking the Admiral. It was the first color set in mom's household. Since it was in a higher-end cabinet I'll assume it used the more reliable shunt-regulated H12 chassis. It could be a Canada-only model for all I know.
