The panel is not original.  Note that the top and bottom edges are flat and 
that there are no rivet holes for the posts that mount the connector and 
cover.  If you remove the four screws, you will find that the wires go 
directly to the pins.  Although they aren't on BC band models, I have two of three 
receivers here that are like that and have seen quite a few over the 
decades.
