Your 19 set with the black text on white decals looks to be early Canadian or American made. Does the data plate on the front confirm this? British sets should have the face text in black right over the pale blue/grey face paint.
As for the mounting of the control unit. Are there blocks on the underside of the turret roof just forward of the set? Sometimes the units were bolted to the turret ceiling.

It is to go in a Daimler Armoured Car as you suggested. Attached is a picture of the general WS19 radio arrangement in the back of the turret. I do have an old control box as shown in the picture and it has long since lost all its labels and is starting to suffer from some corrosion... hence the desire to locate one in better condition.
As this is a late production Mk2 DAC it has it has an external cable drum fitted which is wired back to the WS19 set via the Junction-remote control box shown in my earlier post. Most DAC's didn't have the remote control box fitted. I'm currently struggling to figure out the mounting position of the remote control box as there is simply no room for it beside variometer (it's physically the same size as the No3 control box).
