[Milsurplus] control head ID

At the Tucson swapmeet last Saturday i picked up a variety of stuff.  
One being a C/570A/A tuning unit with a 200-500 kc dial on it.  
Apparently this is the newer type that has the small Dzus fasteners to 
hold it in place in a rack.  good shape with wires attached.

Another item is what appears to be a single receiver control box with 
the designation CC-1/ARC-5, no mfgr name but a number stamped on the tag 
of 3AC/35 and the serial number of 16476.  Over the top of the -1 part 
of the ID it was over stamped with a number 6.  Has the usual controls 
for A-B audio, CW-OFF-MCW, a volumn control, a pair of headset jacks, a 
place to connect the tuning knob or remote tuning cable.  However the 
connector has been changed from the older ARC series to a newer green 
colored type with a couple numbers imprinted (small numbers btw) 18-12 
in the middle.  I suspect that's a modification.  Does that information 
on the ID tag mean anything?  The tag is attached by what looks like the 
original screws.  I can take pictures if anyone wants to see anymore 
about this item.

Any help with this one?

Then there was a nice clean MT-63 double receiver rack that followed me 
home along with a couple nice clean receivers and a pair of the BC-442 
type meters, actually one was for the ATA stuff.

Oh yeah, and a C-30 control box as well.  good day at the swap meet

There was also a very clean BC-348P FS with an internal AC supply.
