 The RBM-5 from S/N 1011 also has the dial lock.  That plus R-506 are a couple of the reasons that I thought that the RBM-5 HF was probably the same receiver as the three RBS models.  And the more common (at the time they were actually in service) power supply for the RBM was probably the dynamotor unit.

I think the major difference between the RBS and the HF RBM is the mounting 
system and the dial lock on the RBS.  The power supplies are quite different 
though.  The RBM power unit is a conventional rectifier; the RBS is the 
rectifier plus an audio amplifier using a pair of 6V6 tubes.
