In the diagram you've provided for the setup that is a control unit #3B mk II, located below the variometer. This was pretty much standard for the truck/ground station. It has a large socket for the cable to connect to the WS19 proper. It also has at least 2 drop leads for the headsets.

The grey box in your photo (the one with button marked Call Commander) is not a control unit. It is a junction distribution box #3 and it's function was stated earlier.

Other control units can be used, not just the 3B.

Bruce, would a Control Unit No 1 Mk 2 work there? I have one of those.
It looks like I have some extra stuff to trade if anyone's interested.
-Tannoy power mic
-Junction box No 3
-Control Unit No 17

I need some aerial stuff and another Wireless Remote Control Unit No 1 (Canadian)

Yes, you can connect the #1 mk II control unit directly to the 19 set. You MUST however remove the fuse that is inside the unit. This is part of the "unattended" switching system when this box is used with the #2 control unit (standard setup btw). Failure to do so puts a direct short on the LT line when using the #1 series alone.

Also be aware that one drop lead is for the gunner and only gives intercom use. The other lead is for the commander and gives intercom & radio use.

Your spare parts would be useful for someone restoring armour.
