Someone suggested GN-33, but I'm pretty sure he meant GN-44, the 
generator for SCR-288/BC-474.  (Dyslexia strikes every 15 seconds, even 
here in Jersey City.)

The picture could be either a GN-44 (SCR-288) or a GN-45 
(SCR-284/BC-654). The share the octagonal housing.  The SCR-288 was a 
stop-gap solution based on the RCA MI-8751 that the Signal Corps 
commissioned when the SCR-284 project was lagging behind.  I believe 
288's were used in CBI, but in the long run there were a lot more 284's.

The SCR-288's a much better deal if you have to carry it.
