[WA5CAB at cs.com]

There were no unlettered models (except for plugs and a few other 
accessories)  During WW-II, roughtly 65% of Signal Corps equipment started off as -A. 
 The -A and early -B models of the SCR-274-N receivers and transmitters 
were black.  The majority of total production were unpainted.
