How to convert the WordPress meta box Page Attributes->Page Template dropdown to radio buttons?

So, it appears that I was correct that the issue was that the id “page_template” was no longer being passed.

To solve this, all I have done is applied some Javascript (using the admin_enqueue_scripts function) which adds the id “page_template” to the radio button that has been selected.
