I'm late to this thread, so forgive me if some of this is already evident or has already been passed on to you.

I'm guessing, but the CDN WS No.52, a general purpose Brigade/Division set for use as either vehicle or ground station, would seem to be a good candidate for this vehicle. 'Wireless for the Warrior' provides a good coverage of the vehicle installations. Another option is the No.19 set, which is also well covered in WFTW Volume 2.
