Thank you Bruce for your post and picture . Here we have a good view of the control panel , the little shelf just above and the 110V outlet that is in use only in the Onan generator equiped versions of the 2K1 - 2K2 trucks .

There is a very interesting article on the Amplifiers Canadian No 19 on the QSL website . https://www.qsl.net/ve3bdb/19amp.html I learned reading it that the Amplifier set was not only used by Canada during WW2 but also during the Korean war ! Here is another interesting link : www.jproc.ca/marconi/no19_set_amp.html

Use of the Canadian amplified 19 set in Korea was a completely unknown fact. Then someone noticed that in a war art painting of a Canadian HQ in Korea there was a radio set in the background that just happened to be a Canadian amplified set. This was quite a revelation and not likely artistic license by the painter (how and why would they do that with such accuracy?). It was only after that research proved these sets were in fact used in the Korean conflict.
I looked for the painting with no luck but if I find it I'll post. And Bob, great work on the 2K1 !!!!

Found it. It's a painting by Ed Zuber held in the Canadian War Museum collection. Their website and access is very limited (crappy) and all I could pull off is this grainy image but notice the radio operator working a Canadian Amplified set towards the right. Only radio nerds would notice.
