Found it. Left side of the plastic top cover, next to the volume control.

OK, I think I've traced it. A 3rd party user
guioe ('The Philips Tape
Recorder Book', 1st edition) states that the ST454 is equivalent to the
Philips EL3541 and the Cossor CR1602.
Yep - I've just had a look at some photos of the EL3451 - it looks exactly
the same as the ST454, aside from the case finish (mine is red and white, Philips unit I had a look at was grey).

1) The superimpose swtich (turns off the erase
head) became a parallel
play button (plaus tracks 1 and 3 together).
Mine must be a fairly old unit then; it's got a superimpose switch, not a
parallel-play button.
> 2) The 2 pin pickup/radio input became a DIN socket (radio input and level ouptu)
and, believe-it-or-not an IEC 5 pin pickup input.

significant.

It's 4 track, does it have a Stereo socket [3]?
It should do. Left side of the machine. Early models didn't provide the
16V for the pre-amp here, though. locator pin in the centre (?!)

I think it's rexine-covered wood, at least
for the Philips EL3541. But I
can't be sure, and this is something that may differ between
Philips/Cossor/Stella versions.
From the "Operating Instructions"
booklet:
Cabinet: Wooden cabinet covered in a washable plastic cloth with
polystyrene lid.
Controls look to be conventional Philips,
apart from the strainght-through amplifier switch near the connector
panel.
Yep. It's got one of those.
I'm beginning to think the brown staining in the top plastic may be down some foam (or similar) splitting away from the
polystyrene lid - it does
have
a "foamy" look to it. Next job after that is
fixing the crack in the lid
and
sticking the rexine back down in the areas where
it's peeled off...
Later.
