My 2 cents. By the time the WIRE-5 came out Mk.III 19 sets would have been the norm. Operationally I expect these would have been installed unless not available. It would give all the wireless trucks the same radio with the same capabilities, characteristics and consumption of spares. Perhaps crates full of lesser-able Mk.II sets would have been used in second line units and training perhaps.
On the other hand, it takes a pretty keen eye to spot the difference from a few feet away so I wouldn't cast aside that Mk.II just yet.
