That's a MC-125 tuning control.  And to the left of it is the SCR-A*-183 command receiver control box.  These two units represent everything the pilot needed to control his command set's receiver, except for a MC-135 HIGH/LOW coil set band selector.  If this aircraft had the 1934 SCR-AA-187 liaison set consisting of BC-AA-191 transmitter and BC-AD-219 receiver, then it is possible that the command set was the 1934 SCR-AB-183 consisting of BC-AD-200 transmitter and BC-AD-219 receiver just like the one in the SCR-AA-187.  If that's true, then the receiver control box is a BC-AD-201.
