Given that the R-391 autotune system takes 15 seconds to change frequency (count down to 00 000 then count up to desired preset), does it make sense to use them for monitoring multiple channels?  It would reduce operator fatigue (R-390 wrist) and perhaps that's the reason.

Most listening posts I've heard about used R-390/R-390As.

I think you are correct.  The picture is blurry.  Especially if you blow it up.  The configuration looks more like an R-391 versus an R-390.

Looking at the second operator from the right, there appears to be a cluster of four knobs just below the LINE meter.  That fourth knob would be the CHANNEL SELECTOR which would make the radios  R-391s.
