[Milsurplus] KWM-2A - different sizes?

[Revcom]

Mike,

KWM-2/2A with PM-2 attached to back was a portable station, usually carried in the CC-2 carry case.
Was their "light weight" station.  Required the M-2 to have the hardware kit installed to thread the thumb
screws in to hold the PM-2.   Rated at 230ma B+, key down intermittant, and had a small built in speaker.

  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?
