The Time King and the Broadcaster are listed in G-S Catalog No. 43 as taking the same crystal. We have an advertisement showing the Broadcaster with an engraved bezel. Thus, the assumption is that the plain bezel version of the same case is the Time King. Hopefully, one day an ad will be found to confirm that assumption. The ad below shows the Broadcaster with the engraved bezel.
