[Milsurplus] Mystery Item

Yep, you're right.  First time I looked at the photo something screwy 
happened to the aspect ratio.  If Brian will confirm whether the binding post is or 
is not removable, that will pin it down to either an MP-65-B or -C (UHF 
connector on the bottom) or MP-65 or -65-A (fixed binding post).

In any case, these have gotten moderately hard to find as they were 
officially used with the SCR-694 and AN/GRC-9 and not made in the quantities that the 
AB-15/GR was.
