Please let me retract that post about contract numbers not being
spread across manufacturers.  Don't know what I was thinking.
Several makers subcontracted the accessories for the radio sets
they were building.  For example: Kodak (yep- Kodak) built the 
control boxes for Western Electric's original SCR-274N VHF set,
and they also shared the following contract number when they
refurbed the 274N VHF sets into the AN/ARC-5 VHF sets.
There are more examples, but all I've found were the "main" 
guys doing the radios and the "other" guys doing the 
accessories, so the SCR-522 case by Bendix with the radios
by Colonial might be such an example.
However- I have not seen a contract number shared on the
build of the radios themselves.
