Below are several Army pictures of a supposed Japanese radar system found on Corregidor when the U.S. recaptured the island in 1945. Can anyone tell if this is actually radar or just standard Japanese communications equipment? The question comes from some history buffs who specialize in WWII in the Philippines. Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

 Wish I had got this 3 or 4 weeks ago..... I just came from there. took a tour of the island and Milinta tunnel. stayed over night in the one inn on the island the Coast Guard wouldn't let us sail back to the capital bad weather. I didn't see that device or i would have gotten pics of it.. did get some nice pics of the barracks "burned out" And some of the 12 inch Guns and 12 " Mortars those shells weighed 850 lbs each...They were made in Bethlehem steel in NY about 1907 installation completed in 1913. all the cement for the Tunnel which was 24 feet wide and about 18 feet tall 1.2 miles long with a 1000 bed hospital and natural draft fresh air system was all supplied by the Japanese from 1907 to 1913 saw MacArthur's departure point where he boarded a PT boat, and the small tunnel he Left through.Jim
