Just in case somebody has recently come across an original looking NE unit.

Rod.

That one looks like an RCA Victor Company Limited product.

I tracked down my photos from the 1980's of two original Wireless Remote Control Units I had in my possession at the time: a DOMINION ELECTROHOME INDUSTRIES unit, and an R.C.A. VICTOR COMPANY LIMITED unit. I also had a NORTHERN ELECTRIC made unit but for some dumb ass reason at the time, never took a photo of it. Hence the search now.

First noticable thing is the variation in nomenclature used by the two companies illustrated, along with the variation in font lettering thickness.

Secondly, if you look closely at the R.C.A. unit you can see how the serial number was hand stamped onto the lid subsequent to the stencilling being applied. The ones I have seen have all been in white paint and most are quite faint. This makes it rather tricky to recover the serial number information from them if you have to strip back later layers of paint.
