      I looked at a 1948 ARRL Handbook and at a Radio 
Handbook of the same date.  The SX-42 was definitely sold as 
a deluxe general purpose receiver with its CW ability 
stressed.  It was the successor to the SX-28.  The SX-43, 
the more economical version is illustrated with a BC-610 and 
possibly the Hallicrafters VFO.   The only transmitter 
featured at the time was the HT-9, a low  power one.   I am 
not sure of the dates of production of the HT-19 and HT-20 
but they are a fair match for style and period. 
Hallicrafters seems to have been concentrating on receivers 
right after WW-2 and developed their transmitter line later.
