Finally dug this box back out of the "cave."

It is indeed.  
Nomenclatured as CBY-62017.
Manu. for Navy Dept. Bu. of Aeronautics.
Facing the junction box, 
down the right side are 133A, 135A, & 21.
Down the left side are 134, 135B, & 133B.
Across the bottom are 74 and 76.
I don't have manuals for these sets.
I'm guessing the "A & B" is about
connecting two receivers to the same box?

I'm not planning to build this set, 
so the box (which needs a repaint)
is available for trade for other GF/RU parts.
I need earlier 12-volt versions (like before GF-11/RU-16)
of receiver and transmitter control boxes 
and the antenna relay.  If you have the ones with 
the green tags, I'll throw in one of my virgin daughters
( Just kidding.... maybe... ;-).

If no takers before Wednesday, it'll be on Ebay.
