[ARC5] Nomenclature identification request: AN/ARC-1 Dzus-mounted control unit

Mark,

Thank you for the reply. The photo was a crop from a scan of an old 
helicopter manual (as in the attachment). I do not have the device.

In the mean time I found an old ebay photo which shows a C-865/ARC-1 as 
only the upper part of the control unit that I had posted a picture of:

I still do not know if the lower part with the VOL/ON/OFF controls used 
a different nomenclature. Do you have a late AN/ARC-1 manual that 
describes this?

Small Nomenclature plate is located on the back of the control box, near where the sole power/control cable plugs into the control box.  I suspect the Dzus mount is what it is sitting in/on top of
