I've just checked the EME regs Telecommunications FZ 256/3, the "Swithchboard , Charging, No. C5, Canadian" is listed as part of the "Installation Kit, W/S Cdn No. 19, Truck and Ground but not as part of the installation kits for any of the tanks, carriers or armoured cars. The description makes me think that it might have been used in other trucks as well, for example the GS body fitted with W/S 19 C15A WIRE-3 and the C8A HUW, Heavy Utilty Wireless. Possibly others too. I'm not sure if the W/S 19 was installed in the C15TA and if that would be considered a truck installation or an armoured car installation, the C15TA manuals didn't help me with this. I'm quite sure the War Museum already has a Switchboard in its C15A wireless truck on display.
If the museum is thinking their Switchboard C5 is surplus to requirement I'd be willing to give it a good home.
