I now have a new and growing appreciation for suspenders. I even wonder if the Home Guard even used wireless. Hhmmm?

I'm sure they can find something in your size

As to wireless it was probably a mixture of whatever they could get. In the beginning the Home Guard was at the bottom of the food chain. They were even issued with pike poles. I do have one document from the UK War Office in 1944 stating the Guard was issued with the Canadian WS58.
