I think it's a wartime slot put together out of old parts by Mills. The paint looks like their glitter yellow which was commonly used then. And if they were putting together stuff in the 1940's it would make total sense to put in a more up to date 1-cherry pay mechanism. And while those casting tabs would normally be used, I've heard of cases where they weren't -- maybe with the war saving a couple bolts made sense after all they did join the front casting to the cabinet from the back as well.
