Yes. It could be soldered but it's surely disconnectable at the other end.
It's not unusual for a TV manufacturer that is also a CRT manufacturer to use CRTs of other makers in their sets. Cost is a reason but there are others like the fact that some CRT plants make some sizes and not others. Toshiba did have a plant in the US, not sure what they did there though. Toshiba tubes were used extensively in European sets (even low cost ones) in the 80s and early 90s. Later they practically disappeared. When true flat CRTs became a thing Samsung and LG were dominating the market.
Not sure what kind of tube swap you have in mind but that set is likely to have a tube with a standard yoke (1.3-1.5 mH on horizontal) that can't be mated with a Nanao chassis. You would need the tube of a 100Hz TV or something else that can do hi res as they have the correct inductance for Nanao dual sync and tri sync chassis.
