The linebook photo is interesting, has this been shown before? I have the 'white' version and based on the GH crystal catalog, which shows both the 'G' and 'H' taking the same crystal, I assumed that my white copy was the Senator 'H'. But just yesterday when I looked it up here I saw that it is shown as the Senator 'U', with a supporting ad.  I thought that was odd as you usually see the yellow/white versions with sequential model letters. I assumed that was because there was already a Senator 'H' from the mid 1950's. But that Senator 'H' has a different crystal shape than the Senator 'G' shown here, so it didn't make sense that crystal would list it fitting both the Senator 'G' and 'H', so that was confusing. 

So, is the White version not the Senator 'U', and do we now have two different watches both being a Senator 'H'?

We used ads to ID watches before we got access to the linebooks.  I default to the 1964 Linebook which lists the white as a variant H
