There's a Control Unit A on UK ebay. It's a 1939 date with the serial # over 11000. That seems kind of high for the date. How many would have been produced for the No 1 set? Judging by the last pic the serial numbers weren't consecutive. I guess different companies got blocks of numbers assigned to them.

I got another NOS control unit A off Oz ebay It came with the strap and pouch and a mouthpiece. The other ancillaries were missing though. Would anyone have one of those connector pieces with the two screws?
The seller said the pouch was for the microphone but oh well! He was probably looking at it upside down! Built 1941 serial # 17506 as in the above post.

Can you be more specific about what you need ? if its the strange shaped bit on the end of the lead , I've never seen one before . Those control units turn up at junk markets and swap meets here, there must be many of them still in dusty sheds. and garages

That's the one all right Mike. I ordered some bakelite in case I can't find one!
It slips over the two Control or Exchange posts on the remote then the reel of wire hooks onto the connector and goes to the other remote.

my radio knowledge is zip, however The star in firearms and carriers refers to Canadian design or at least I thought so until recently.
I'm not sure what model or mark you describe the Canadian carrier mount as, Chris, but the prefix of the Ford part number CO1UC 105046 means:
C= Canadian design
0= 1940
1=85 horse power
U.C.= Universal Carrier.
I think the star designates a Canadian design in this mount. I have all of it as original except the big rubber boot. Quite a few copies have made it to the U.K. as a result of my bits.
I havent been able to follow or absorb you description, but that is probably me.

No bids on that British set in Malta.....I would have thought it would sell for that amount? Ron

The 'star' isn't Canadian. It's just a British/Commonwealth way of indicating a design change in a piece of military gear that isn't significant enough to warrant a new 'mark'.

A no. 11 set has been on the air recently. A friend of mine Clem, grew up playing with and fixing old wireless sets he had salvaged from the local tip. He did a PMG radio tech course in the 1960's and eventually he worked at the Telecom research labs in Clayton.

I gave him this 11 set years ago, its been played around with and its now back on the air in somewhat modified form.

That set appears to have hand scribed panel lettering.Most unusual. Was it originally made like that ?
And it's not made by EK Cole either.
