Everything is still packed away (or in the process of being packed), so I can't look it up in Instructions in Army Telegraphy & Telephony (Instruments).

The Remote Control Unit 'B' is moderately scarce as they were mostly rounded up and converted to RCU 'E' Mk.I for the WS9/52 and WS19.

Chris, now you have me wondering. I'm almost certain the name plate said 'Telephone Set B (Training Pattern)'. I know where it is and will check. I wonder if RCU B sets were modified to other things than the RCU E?
