No. 19 Set Installation Kits

[David Dunlop]

Noticed on eBay USA recently someone appears to be parting out a complete US 19-Set Mk II all NOS with Installation Kit parts for some form of AFV. That got me wondering about the source for these Installation Kits.

Would Canada, the USA and England have contracted with local suppliers to build the various 19-Set Installation Kits they required during the war or would specific kits have been assigned particular manufacturers? My suspicion is each country built what they needed so one could probably find Sherman Installation Kits made by Zenith in the USA, Pye in England and RCA in Canada for example all in one surplus store post war.

Anybody know for certain?
