At least there is no electical tape covering the caps. I would be willing to accept that these are hand made units built in very limited quantities that preclude the use of PC boards. They still look like prototypes though; just like something engineering would hand off to manufacturing.

Prototype with full silk screen , i doubt it ,
Full silk screen isn't necessary, but if you want to put tube sockets on a PC board, you'll want through plated holes.

Well, your skepticism is well founded if this is a small outfit e.g., a few guys in a garage. But if this is a real company engineering, marketing and manufacturing all have to sign off on the front panel, so it needs to be established early on in the design process. Engineering will design the functionality, marketing will ensure it complies with the company aesthetic, and manufacturing will find a supplier and get engineering samples. The prototype will be built to look like a finished product as far as possible so that marketing can produce the promotional materials and it can be shown to the sales guys who talk it up with the distributors. That's how a real company operates. Again, if this is two guys in a garage, that may not be the case.
