A quick Google revealed the existence of a National Archives document on the trials of "Microphone, Respirator, No.3" in 1957. That's Larkspur era, and the WW2 microphones definitely wouldn't fit the new range. Something would be needed for non-NBC filtered vehicles at the very least.

Maybe if I manage to get to London again I'll look it up.
