That is probably a CR1901. Yes, the frequencies were different -they had 
MW - Medium Wave and LW - Long Wave. The dial is in kHz. I had an Aunt 
and Uncle who brought back an MG from Germany that had a similar radio. 
You could pick up the US AM band on MW, the LW band wouldn't have 
broadcasting in the US but you might be able to pick up some signals. 
Not sure if longwave is still used in Europe/UK or not for broadcasting.
