Why do you think it is 'pre-1935' - and not the model E-38P of 1938?

Edit: No I'm not - the E-38P has subtle differences!

I noted the subtle differences too, but wondered how much of this was due to post-manufacture tinkering - e.g. the panel cut-out on the right with the triangle of screw heads for example, where there is a switch in the E-38P

I also thought that irrespective of whether or not it is an E-38P, what is the physical evidence to date it as "pre-1935?"
