Pre WW2 alphabets are a bit of a mess. There was one in 1904, a naval one, and a completely different one for the army 1914-18 (Apple, Butter, Charlie, Duff...London...Pudding...). Sometime at the end of WW1 they standardized based much on the 1904 one which evolved into Ack, Beer, Charlie. All the previous ones post 1904 (except army) were similar but different in some letters with words disappearing then reappearing in the next version.
George, King, Uncle, WIlliam and Zebra were common to all of them until the NATO Golf, Kilo, Uniform, Whisky and Zulu.
