I'm betting the 2nd green tube is for better brightness and details since green makes up the majority of what the human brain perceives as sharpness and brightness.

True though I wonder if the second green tube is fixed or has a toe in adjustment like the others

The tv I had that had those was a badge engineered Philips(lxi for sears) it gave great picture quality for the time I had it even after I got through with those controls(it was a early 90's era projection tv)
