The very valuable SHIPS 242A that Robert publishes has only the following
for the GP-3:

(1)  It was ordered in 1936.
(2)  It is the first GP-* made by Westinghouse.  All GPs to follow were
     made by Westinghouse.  GP (1934) and GP-2 were RCA.  GP-1 was Western
     Electric.
(3)  It and all other GP-series covered 350-1500 and 3000-9050 kHz.

So there's not much of a clue to your mystery there.  

What I wonder is, do you have a GP-3?  This must be very rare.
