Your 202 is an early version dating from 1930/31. Nice to have it in blue, but sourcing the missing detachable record album which fits inside the lid will not be easy. Black ones turn up on eBay from time to time, but coloured ones rarely appear.
After Columbia merged with HMV to form EMI in 1931, later 202's acquired HMV motors and ancillaries. The 202 was catalogued until 1937, by which time it had the 270 series motor with angled side wind as fitted to the HMV102.
Here are all three versions from my collection :
