Default Help with the 46 set

Hi guys,

I think this is my first post on the forum so if im getting anything wrong please let me know.
Im a ww2 reenactor part of a Royal Navy beach commando unit, i have aquired a non working yet complete wireless set 46, i know the beach commandos as part of combined operations used them as it is within their kit list mentioned in combined operations pamphlet 17

(page 16)

The reason ive posted here is that i have and only have two photos of commandos using the 46 set, that ive found on the internet, plus the metal instruction plate diagram.
Do you guys have any more images, of any unit using a 46 set?
Ive trawled google, the IWM achives and every text book i can find.

The reason is im trying to put the webbing gear together to actually hang the 46set from.
i know it will be a 37pattern belt and cross straps, possibly with extenders. but for rest of the equipment im guessing.
wireless satchel or small pack on the hip?
but for the other side of the chest i have no idea.

i have attached the two photgraphs i have

many thanks
Alan
