Well, I don't think so in this case, unless someone dummies up a nameplate.  
But anyone dummy enough to do that would also probably put it on one of the 
later receivers, which as most of us know didn't look like the prototype 
BC-224-A

Yes, the Signal Corps was a bit sporadic in following its own rules.  Best 
example I can think of is SCR-211, which should have been IE-something and 
BC-221 which should have been I-something.
