That style of connector was designed by Pye in England originally for airborne radar. The p/n 10H/2449 is a RAF stores number. I suspect it belongs to something airborne, not a WS19.

The Pye history website says it was used post war commercially up to 1969.

Thanks, Bruce. I suspected when I researched Vernons that the sockets might not be 19-Set after all. Do you have any idea what airborne radar the RAF might have been using in 1943?

AI (airborne intercept) and ASV (anti-surface vessel) radars developed in 1939. These were in use and upgraded until 1945.

There's a bit of history here:
