PRC-16...Wow, when/where was that combination used?   Closest thing I can 
find in my library is the field modification kit MX-898/GR   which contained 
auxiliary equipment to allow temporary, non-vehicular field operation of an RT-68. 
  Kit included the same battery case (CY-590), antenna mount and sections 
(MT-652/GR, AB-22 & AB-24) as shown on the diagram referenced above.   The kit 
also included a hand generator (G-8) which I presume could have used in the 
PRC-16 setup as well.

Finally found an MT-652/GR at Dayton last month after several years of 
looking.
