Help identify unknown jukebox

I am requesting help identifying the jukebox seen in the 1945 film "Mildred Pierce" (screen shots attached). The Archive section of this site contains no similar image. I've even tried Google image search but that returned no positive matches. Thank you!

Dear johns594,
so far we also do not know who made this jukebox. I am about sure it is an aftermarket model, means remodeled at a later date.
The movie you refer to is from 1945. In that time no new models were produced. So many operators and companies went for remodeling.
My guess is that it is a remodeled Seeburg Mayfair, at least tthe wooden part of the cabinet looks close.
But that's all we can tell at this moment.

The archive shows this model in the Unknown sections of "Unknown" and "Models USA" and the list "In Movies".

Viele Grüße - Hildegard Stamann als admin

Thank you for your insight. I've seen this "prop" in at least one other presentation, "Nobody Lives Forever" (1946). Both were Warner Bros. productions so it seems likely this was the same machine in both films.
