wasn’t that the prewar set that was supposed to be packed aboard mules?

That was the SCR-179, otherwise identical to the SCR-178.  I actually have
a manual somewhere for this pack-animal set.

I have never understood why the SCR-178 was made after 1935.  It seemed well
obsolete even then.  But my SCR-178 was made on a 1942 order.  Nonsense, it
seems to me.
