    I am just back from a tour of the D-Day invasion beaches. At the 
museum at Arromanches I saw among the vast number of mscl collected 
objects, an SCR-274N receiver, all bare aluminum, and quite polished 
(could not see the dial so do not know the frequency) - it bore an ID 
plate with the legend "Royal Canadian Forces" and other data, attached 
to the side of the tube shield. The kind of data plate usually found on 
top of the cover over the tuning capacitor.


I never saw an id plate in that position.

     There was not a lot of aircraft gear there aside from a British 
aviation engine - not a Merlin - obviously salvaged from a well-crashed 
plane.


     Not that this gives much information. Just thought I'd mention it.
