Maybe I am missing something, but 6-roll changers were the norm for
Pian Orchestras; I know of several.  If he means "made by Philipps
for Wurlitzer," he may be partially correct.  I do not know whether
the Pian Orchestras with 6-roll changers were made by Wurlitzer or
Philipps.

I do know that the Style 33 Wurlitzer Pian Orchestra that I own
was made by Philipps for Wurlitzer and it has a 6-roll changer
made by Philipps.  The serial number on the roll changer is 22.
The Pian Orchestra was made in 1908.
