19-Set Morse Keys

[David Dunlop]

There appears to be two distinct styles of morse keys used with the 19-Set. For lack of actual part number references at the moment, I will refer to them as the domed rectangular cover pattern and the square edged rectangular cover pattern.

I have only ever seen the domed pattern finished in a semi-gloss black paint and the square edged pattern shows up in either wrinkle black or wrinkle green finish.

Can anyone confirm if the production of these two versions of the 19-Set morse key was concurrent during the war and if the square edged version was ever issued with Canadian 19-Sets? I do not recall ever seeing either item with a C Broad Arrow stamp on it.
