The only kind of portable PreSelector I saw back then was the DB-20.
Trivia: The only kind of transmitter frequency control, except for
a crystal, was the Miesner Signal Shifter. Everybody had one.

Or maybe allow multiple receivers to operate on the same antenna by providing some isolation between but would think almost every receiver listed has fairly good isolation and plenty of gain.
