A little sleuthing on this George Nelson table  

So, this table caught my eye at a thrift store earlier this week, and after a quick once-over, I thought "nope, that's not a Nelson, the legs would be round, not oval, and they wouldn't be chrome".
I snapped a pic just in case, went home, and found that I fact it likely is a Nelson table, as I found a couple just like it with the same legs, same materials, and same measurements.
What I'm wondering, is what series is this from, when was it made etc.? Also, this one does not have the struts that the others I've seen so, but there are no spots on the table that indicate they were ever there.
Have I stumbled on another HM employee hack-job, or were they actually made like this.
Thanks!
