Here's some distinct possibilities

#1. It was used in an instrument that monitored the water level of a fish pond.
SWR = Still Water Reading.

#2. Then again, it may have been a modern version of something to keep track of evil doers in the north as in:
SWR = Salem Witch Raids, but the company went out of business early since there wasn't much call for that in modern times since nobody cared.

#3. Monty Python may have used the tester to measure audience responses to:
SWR = Silly Walks Reaction.

#4 In Horse racing, it was a:
SWR = Saddle Weight Range, to monitor the thoroughbred's load.

#5 Of course, the Lone Ranger may have kept a watch on his bullet production with a:
SWR = Silver Working Reserve device at his mine.

The first question that comes to mind is  “How do we know that SWR stands for Standing Wave Ratio?”

I found it in a cache of old broadcast equipment, so it is possible it was part of an old carrier current transmitter or some other such thing.  This is the link to the picture:
