Default WS 19 radium paint?

I'm restoring a Signal Corps WS Mk II CRM 43. I looked on line for information about radium paint used for the lettering. Some say radium was never used. Some say it was. Anyone actually put a detector on the various sets to find out? My radio, control boxes, variometer, and power supply all glow in the dark after exposure to bright light. The US sets I have worked on for years don't do this, even though I'm sure of the presence of radium paint on them. I had hoped to keep my vehicle radium free. Jesse.
