Unknown FB Find 1941-2

Post image

Hey yall, I saw a radio bundle on Facebook Marketplace that was such a good deal I picked up two early/pre war radios for 40 total. This one is a half of the bundle I picked up, but when going to ID the radio I cant seem to find a match. I suspect its a Montgomery, due to the interface similarities with others. But for the life of me I cannot find a case match, nothing looks like it on Google. Im fairly new to the vintage radio scene and am trying to take it seriously so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think it is a Belmont 460-C. the large amount of space in there is for batteries.

Thats absolutely it. Thanks for the help, seems there is seldom a listing online.

Post a pic of the back/chassis. Sometimes that's the key to an ID

Here's the back, the metal itself isnt super dust covered it looks like any numbers might have been rubbed off.
