Those tube numbers weren't used in the US. Maybe radio hardware was made in US? Nice radio with double conversion.
Couldn't find Pullman is UK or German schematics that I have. Might try contacting Paul Stenning. He may be able to identify your radio?

:Can any of you help me restore an unusual monster radio?
:
:I'm in the UKand bought this radio on eBay simply because I liked it's size & looks, and I want to restore it for personal use.
:
:The radio is unusual in that firstly it contains 10 valves incl. the rectifier and magic eye, with 9 on the main deck and a further 1 in a separate push-button tuner unit.
:The second oddity is that whilst the valves are all Mullard, the capacitors are a mixture of Austrian (SATOR) and British (Hunts).
:A further anomaly is that the fascia metal surround has "made in the United States of America" stamped into as a mirror image on the reverse side - it does not show on the visible side.
:The valve line up is:
:FC4 in separate tuner; TH4; VP4B;VP4B; DD4; 354V; AC044; AC044, R14; EM1.
:I'm not sure if the FC4 is used only with pre-selectors and the TH4 for manual tuning, or if the radio employs double conversion. I've not had time to work that out yet. It is clearly push-pull output the 354V driving a small transformer and subsequently the 2 AC044's.
:The radio also has variable bandwidth /selectivity, achieved through a combination of top-cut tone control ganged via a drive cord with cams that alter the coupling in the IF transformers!!!
:
:Any data or circuit or history would be of immense interest and help. I'm willing to pay for circuits etc.

If it is the same company, you might find out something at www.pullman.org
Otherwise maybe perusing court cases of 1930 through 1932 might reveal at least a little history if Pullman Palace Car was as protective of their identity over there as they were in the US.
It is a longshot, but it may be worth a try if you are really doing serious research.
