Are WG K7191 and K7193 Chassis Interchangable?

I asked this same question a couple weeks back, with a siscussion that ensues. The theory is yes, but I haven't gotten around to proving it yet. I can tell you that 7191 and 7197 are interchangrable
 
How do you tell the difference between a K7191 and a K7193? (Assume the stickers are missing.)

honestly you don't.

they are so close you would have to have looked at 100's of them to know the difference.

i only know them by sight when they are next to each other.

There's two versions of the 7193 but both are interchangeable with each other as well as with the 7191. Early 7191's had no remote boards, mid to late productions all had remote boards and by the time they badged it the 7193, they all had remote boards and some had a pin cushion board as well. Long story short, they're the same damn chassis.

If your sticker were there, it may have actually read 7191/7193 which most of them do if they have remote boards.

I got the board installed and it worked great. Nice clean picture.
 
Not sure if I ever reported back on my thread of the same topic, but either way I'll chime in here. Yes, it works. Not the best pictures, but the monitor looks great in real life. K7193 tube on a K7191 chassis:
