They're variations on the same outer case for different wireless sets.

5A ZA.0942 was for Wireless Sets 9, 12, 12HP, 33, etc.
5B ZA.0943 was for Wireless Sets 11, 12, 12HP, 14, 33.
5C ZA.1904 was for WS19 and R.208
5C Mk.1/1 ZA.29388 was for WS19 or SR C12
5D ?
5E ?
5F ZA.24797 was for R308

According to Wireless for the Warrior Volume 2.

I bought a couple of Canadian 5C tins with assorted contents many years ago, advertised as "Parts for Case Tractor" on eBay. They had a lot of WS19 spares inside and about four of the operator lamps, plus unrelated fuses and oddments.

The 5C has a wooden block to take fuses, lamps and brushes. I think the 5B has a soldered/welded in divider/compartment that takes the spare thermocouple meter for the WS.11. Externally they're identical.

Latches vary by manufacturer, as does the style/colouring/lettering, without considering repainted ones.
