One (and I can't remember which) was made by Westclox. There's also the British manufactured variety which has a square edged (but taller, due to the key design) cover with a sloping front.
(Pause for thought.)
There's an article on the Canadian WS19 website by Chris Bisaillion covering the keys:

Chris.
(Feetnote: Key & Plug Assy No.19 is, of course, for the Wireless Set No.62, despite what people selling them on eBay seem to think! They won't work on the WS19, no matter how hard you try, due to the difference in keying arrangements.)
