Quite correct David. The UK kept all the VRL receivers to be used standalone.
The Canadian Army used them with the C33 xmtr along with the AR88 & HRO.
The photo is my VRL model 250 (the actual model #) in Canadian Army brown/green. I've seen it in grey & orange as well. The SPARC museum near Vancouver has a sample of each as well as a prototype.
