Yes, the filament lamp is a #40 6-8 volt min. screw bulb.

The plate lamp is a #6S6 120 volt candelabra bulb.

The schematic shows I1 as a 6V lamp and it is correct since it is across a filament winding.  Likewise it shows I2 as a 115 V lamp and it is correct since it is across the primary of the HV transformer.

If you look in the parts list, they have I1 as the 6S6 and I2 as the # 40 PL.

Obviously the schematic is correct.  Wonder if all the manuals came out that way?
