[Milsurplus] KWM-2A - different sizes?

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

The bolt-on power supply was just one of the options 
for the KWM-2/2A.  The transceiver AND that power 
supply fit nicely into the Samsonite cases we used in 
Mobile/Combat Comm Groups in the Air Force. 

I believe it is the PM-2.

I own a KWM-2A that I will be restoring over the winter timeframe, it was 
a gift from my Elmer, and has spent some time in a mouse-infested shed 
so there are some, ahem, gifts that were left by the previous residents, 
along with missing tubes, etc. 
 
I spent the last weekend helping the crew of the USS Torsk in Baltimore, MD, 
on their annual work weekend, and they have a KWM-2A in their radio room 
in NICE shape.  However, in looking over the unit, I notice that it did not have 
a separate power supply unit, like most S-series have.  It instead had an 
attached box, same height and width of the radio’s main body, attached to 
the back end of the rig.  It extended the length of the case by a good 6 
inches, and was painted the same color as the radio’s case, and had the 
same profile.  I am assuming that this is some sort of power supply box, 
tacked onto the back end of the radio.  But I can’t find any mention of this 
anywhere on the web. 
 
Help, please?
