Am looking to fit out an M3A1 White Scout Car as Phantom signals unit for Normandy 1944 and considering this wireless fit out.

You're probably looking for a W/T 9 Mk.1 (first pic). It's a circa 1943 Canadian improvement over the British or Canadian No.9 that was obsolete in 1941 (Canadian version, circa 1941 in second pic). Yes, it's is the predecessor of the W/T 52 (third pic). Actually, the 52 was going to be called the No.9 Mk.2 but it was deemed too different.
