This style was the last Marconi model using the 1400 chassis, while this set is 19" the later sets were 20" but were the same design and were made concurrent with the 1500 for areas that hadn't yet got full UHF coverage. I have a Marconi sales Brochure which shows the 20" version of this set along with the 1500 and 8500 and 3500 colour sets.
Maybe your other set is a later model with the 20" screen?
