[Milsurplus] Radio in USMC Gun Motor Carriage 75mm M3

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

There is a book on the TD Battalions that came out earlier this year.  Later 
photos from Sicily and Western Europe (if the M3 had an antenna) mostly show 
MP-48 or MP-48-A and three mast sections, typical of SCR-610 installation.  But 
one of a 601st TD Battalion ME at Kasserine Pass (or general area) looks more 
like an MP-37 and taller (five-section) whip.  Photo was taken from a 
distance of at least several hundred feet and isn't too clear, either.  But under 
moderate magnification, I can't make out any of the hallmarks of the MP-48-(*).
