Brian,
I believe this type of aerial base has been discussed before but I can’t seem to find the discussion.
The 3 Mar 44, Working Instructions - Antennae Vertical 34’ Steel Mk I, mention that the Aerial Base was redesigned for the “Mk. 1 Kit“ (see attached text)
My impression is that the base in question may be the original design.

Jordan B included the second attached picture which shows a Feb 43 instruction booklet.
Jordan,
Does your early booklet illustrate this type of aerial base?
