[Boatanchors] Re: [AMRadio] Sp-600 JX-11 Diversity?

As I replied direct to John with Northern pics,

The SP-600s done by Northern do NOT have the red knobs.  There is a VERY 
distinctive tag affixed to the upper right corner, AND there are NO 
crystal units or switches.

AND they weren't JX types - just "J 11" as the name/SN plate on top of 
the turret assembly shows.

In any event this is a diversity version.  I'm trying to I.D. who did the work but I think that it was done by Northern Radio.  I say this as the label details for the int/ext. M.O. and int/ext AGC/BFO controls look identical to those on a National NC-183D/R Northern diversity version that had followed me home some years earlier.  I was wondering if the factory did a diversity version of the JX-11?  If so what did the front panel look like?  This unit has no Xtal freq control and in addition to an IF output on the chassis, there is a second IF out "in a can" with a SO-239 connector and it is attached topside at the rear of the radio.  Sound like a Northern job to youz guyz?
